Testimonials

"I joined ACELP in 2008 as an attendant with Miss Asia. From being a shy individual, I’ve grown into a confident communicator — thanks to the supportive environment here. I’ve completed my BA and MA while working, and today I proudly assist students in both Urdu and English. ACELP gave me more than a job — it gave me purpose and growth."

"Afaq has been at ACELP for four years, and his growth has been remarkable. From a shy child, he now confidently interacts with classmates and even makes friends on tours. We’re truly grateful for the support ACELP has given him."

"ACELP truly cares for each child. When my son joined at 6, he had speech delays and fine motor issues. With the school’s support, his communication has improved, and his hand rigidity has reduced. I’m so thankful for his progress."
