The  three hostesses of the evening, Freha Ismail, Mahnaz Fareed and Dr. Saleha Bokhari SOS village and Herman Gmeiner school Multan are two mega living projects, which require day to day maintainence and assistance every minute of the day. An enormous, Herculean task, which no man in the city of saints dared to carry out but instead, a petite, extremely elegant, young lady, gathered her strength and pushed it ahead.
