Meeting of SOS village, executive board members.

Mahnaz Farid, Hania Shahid and Fariha Munir Shah

SOS village Multan, is such an impressive and thoroughly looked after project that philanthropists find ways to reach out and help this institution. The transparency and excellent record keeping of the expenditure and of every penny received as donation, encourage people to trust this project and invite their friends and family to contribute for the well being and betterment of the young souls being raised here.

The third meeting of the executive board members took place on 10th February 2014, at 4pm. Hania Shahid, Fariha Munir Shah, Saadia Yaqub, Rubina Arshad, Ayesha Najeeb, Mr. Shahbaaz Ali Chattha were among thos executive board members, who attended this meeting.

Also, the representatives of Nizam Solar energy were present at the occasion. And the highlight of their presence was that they had found willing parties to donate solar energy units for the entire SOS project. And were there to offer their service for the entire village in collaboration with some donors. A magnificent job indeed. We admire the contribution made by Nizam Solar energy, in advance. Again, it reflects the trust at the capable leadership of Mahnaz Fareed Sheikh, who is the main force running all the ongoing projects of SOS in Multan.

Another great news was Rossetta Stone laboratory has started working in SOS school. It is an unimaginably high priced computer-assisted language learning program. Which no other governmental or non governmental school could afford in Multan. Only SOS village Multan, can boast it now. And within few months, all the students and teachers of SOS, will become fluent in English with pronunciations, better than students of any institute in this city.

We congratulate Mahnaz and all her executive board members for all that they are doing. Our prayers are with you all, for all your future endeavours.

Saadia Yaqub and Ayesha Najeeb.

Summer is finally here, although, the weather still turns unpredictable at times. But still, one feels like taking a dip in the cool, cool water of a crystal clear pool. M.G.M (Multan Garrison Mess. Commonly known among Multanis, by its' old name 'services club'), opens up, pool doors for all its' members every 15th of April. The pool is open air, so it works on seasonal basis. From April to September/ October (if weather allows it). Last year, the pool remained open, only till May, after that, it was shut down for renovations & could not be reopened because of the 'dengue' scare. MGM pool has always been, undoubtedly the biggest & the best in this city, with an excellent filtration plant to boast & an extremely dedicated team of military men as workers, for maintaining th...
