Nizaha Aalaa and Sarah Gazdar

Nizaha Aalaa and Sarah Gazdar were both little kids going to school by bus . Both of them died as they fell asleep and were forgotten in the bus in the scorching heat .Both of them Indian expats ,Both of them died because someone did not do this one-minute job after arriving at school - checking the bus  to be sure nobody left behind .

One died in Doha in May 2010  and the other in Abu -Dhabi on October 7 2013 ....

One was the pupil of DPS-Modern Indian School  in Doha  . The other was pupil of  Worood Academy Private School, Abu- Dhabi .

 The school bus had no bus attendant in Doha and the Pakistani driver did not know he had this duty to check the bus after the arrival . The Abeu- Dhabi school bus had an onboard  helper but she did not do her job . 

The school has to close  in Abu -Dhabi  no licence  for it from September . The school in Doha is still operating .

The bus attendant in Abu- Dhabi got only one year jail ! The principal who allowed the bus  go without attendant got nothing in Doha !  Though parents reported her just weeks before the tragedy that their kids  were forgotten in the bus and  they were just lucky to escape ! She even had a farewell party which was published in local daily .She was allowed to travel before the trial !

 Nizaha Alaa and Sarah Gazdar ...  the victims of negligence   -  it could have happened to any one's kid  and it is important that we raise our voice for the safety of kids !

A Little Girl who did not return home from school


It was just another school day at the kindergarten . Looking forward to meeting friends and having a day full of fun , singing , numbers,colors , rhyme .

For Sarah Gazdhar it was the last one . Somebody  forgot to check the school bus  after arriving .  A simple one minute job .Sarah fell asleep and was forgotten  there . It was 40 C outside . The bus was closed for four and half an hour . She  must had a terrible death .


That is the story .
It could have been your child or mine .
And the bus will come tomorrow and we will let our kids to school . Praying  that someone will not fail to do this one minute job .Hoping that no child will be left on the bus .
