For the noble cause, of SOS village.

Few of the hostesses of the event.

SOS village committee, is the only one in Multan (or probably anywhere in the country), which is conducted, not just for the social gratification of womankind, but also for a noble cause of helping the children of SOS village. It is a fund raiser, where each member donates, half of their collected committee to SOS village. The spirit and generosity of natives of the city of saints, can clearly be seen by the fact that this committee, boasts maximum of members, a large number of hundred and twenty women, who are proud to be called, friends of SOS.

The genius behind bringing them together, is of none other than, very talented
Hania Shahid. Alongwith being a physical and financial support for SOS village and school, this beautiful girl is indeed a great driving force, in motivating all these women for lending helping hands in this charitable organization.

And no praise can ever justify, the amount of efforts by one noble soul, known to others, by the name of Mahnaz Fareed. The Multani-ites, still remember the time, when she had arrived in their city, as a newly married bride from Lahore. But her gifts to deprived of the society, in form of SOS village, SOS Herman Gmeiner school, SOS village youth home and now, SOS college (HSSC), contributed her a stature, far more colossal than anybody. As a recognition of her dedication, she has been taken on board of directors, of all Pakistan SOS villages organization. Which is not, less of a celebration and an honor for all the natives of Multan.

Another, elegant, pretty lady Rameen Anis is a great supporter of this cause. She looks after SOS village, like her own house and completely dedicates her free time for the betterment of SOS Herman Gmeiner school. She spends hours and hours, helping teachers to improve their methods of teaching. And is always there to provide, every kind of support, in times of need.

Saadia Yaqub a gorgeous, multi-talented lady. Also serves as a pillar of SOS village and school. She is the president of 'friends of SOS', Multan. She remained with SOS, from the very beginning of the very first project in Multan. Though, she is heading Beaconhouse, A-levels branch as 'head mistress' these days. But her dedication to the cause of SOS remains, as enthusiastic as ever.

The peace, which shines upon the faces of these women, truly reflects the kind of solace and contentment, they derive out of serving this cause. Even if they get out to socialize among friends , it is not useless, but to serve the cause, the support.

Not to forget, hundred some 'friends of SOS', who regularly contribute amount and efforts to help this cause, thrive.One such effort can be seen here, in form of the committee party for the months of March and April, by Sadia Doggar, Iram Mannan, Mrs Rukhsana Naeem, Hina and others.
