An NGO held a three-day Interfaith Harmony Camp at St Anthony’s High School, Lawrence Road, Lahore. “Through this, we hope to promote a sense of harmony, tolerance, co-existence and respect in these young minds”, said Tooba Fatima, the camp manager. During the dialogues sessions, the students explored the similarities among all religions and used some time to share basic values, customs and celebrations that each religion holds as important.

Chief Editor’s comment: This certainly can be a major tool to improve the religious tolerance situation in Pakistan.
