==Atlas Public School == |
|||
Atlas public school is located in the Rawalpindi district near Pir Wadhai (Pakistan). |
|||
It's not far from Islamabad the Capital City of Pakistan. |
|||
Atlas school located in very populated area and to reach there we passed through a busy road. Childrens living there belongs to poor families. Education has become an important factor for the development of their children. |
