Our Superhero Edhi Baba
On superhero presentation day, while others pick Superman and Spider-Man, one child chooses a real-life hero: the kind Edhi Baba, who helped countless people.
Our Superhero Edhi Baba Maria Riaz
This Monday morning every student was ready to present their favorite superhero with the best superpower they could find. The teacher was so happy to see the enthusiasm in every child. She organized the jumping students and started the presentations.
After the presentations of Superman and Spider-man, the Hulk and many others, came Talha and Maha, two students who were dressed in gray shirts. Everyone was wondering what their super power was, and began listening to their poem.
Little Edhi saw his mother giving to the needy. She thought she wouldn’t care.
But he started giving every day, whatever he could spare.
His heart grew a little bigger every day, and eventually, he became a superhero with an incredibly large heart.
His heart was so big that it had room for everyone in need, regardless of their skin color.
He had the fastest car, white and shiny, to heal every injury no matter how tiny.
Ehdi Baba was the kindest man. We follow what was his plan. Help and donate is what we do. We have the superpower of big heart, you can get it, too!
Indeed a BIG HEART is the most wonderful super power we have been looking for…. The teacher smiled, the while class clapped for the lovely EHDI BABA poem and donated with whatever they could spare.
Notes for parents/teachers: Late Abdul Sattar Edhi had a habit of charity since childhood; his mother made him donate an amount of money from his daily allowance to the needy. This habit flourished and made Edhi a world renowned humanitarian from Pakistan. Superheroes have big hearts. Sharing makes your heart big. Sharing with a person in need makes it even bigger. Sharing with a person you do not like or you do not agree with makes your heart the biggest. Help, share and donate to be a superhero. There is an ambulance service by Edhi Foundation which has a network of ambulances all over Pakistan. It facilitates patients in need to reach their destinations. Read more about the other ways of donating to and services provided by the Edhi Foundation on official website: https://edhi.org. Whenever there was a natural calamity like flood, earthquakes etc;., Edhi Sahab used to help either by going there in person or by raising donations for them. Make the kids understand that being kind is the most wonderful superpower by giving them examples of local heroes from everyday life. Tell them they do not have to be a millionaire to donate. I donate a portion of what I have, whether it is money or a skill.
