LAHORE, Pakistan: The US Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blome and US Consul General in Lahore Kristin Hawkins recently welcomed 150 new students in Sialkot to the US-funded EnglishWorks! program.
EnglishWorks! offers young people the opportunity to enhance English language, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills.
“These skills will help young Pakistanis become community leaders who contribute to a prosperous, proud, and peaceful future for Pakistan,” Ambassador Blome said.
The EnglishWorks! program symbolizes the enduring partnership between the United States and Pakistan. Since 2015, more than 6,000 Pakistani students have graduated from the program.
During his visit to Lahore, Ambassador Blome also met with members of the Central Punjab Chapter of the Pakistan-US Alumni Network.
The alumni of US exchanges play vital roles in business, education, government, and the non-profit sector, significantly contributing to their communities with the knowledge and connections they gained through their US-funded programs and strengthening the US-Pakistan relationship.
