Another amazing evening awaited 'Friends of SOS', on 14th October. An Eid milan, garden party in magnificent lawns of Multan Garrison Mess. Grandiose historical building of MGM, superb ambiance, pleasant weather, complimented by colourful, formal Eid attires by the members. Which was the demand of the hostesses, Mala Ahsan, Tehmina Munir, Misbah Idrees and Munaza Malik. It indeed worked well to cherish the spirit of Eid.

The hostesses had also arranged different games, with lots of prizes to entertain their guests. Being an eid milan, there had to be a prize of best dressed lady. The hostesses extended their generosity to all those, who were present. Every guest was a winner and well deserved it, as everybody appeared at their best.

Mahnaz Fareed  addressed the audience and updated them about the recent achievements, regarding SOS village and Herman Gmeiner school. Also present at the occasion, were the girls SOS is so proud of.  One of them is Salma Aslam, who just returned from a three weeks course from "Vienna International Christian - Islamic Summer University - VICISU''.

Mahnaz explained that it is not just everyday living that SOS village provides these children but their future is also kept in mind. It is made sure that every child here, when grows up, becomes a useful, respectably earning, established and law abiding citizen of Pakistan.

Back to the party now. Though a healthy number of members attended the function, but as we all know, the count of members in this committee exceeds more than one hundred. Not many members confirmed, their availability. So, the hostesses went on to hold arrangements on much bigger scales. Which caused a lot of inconvenience for them. Here is a humble request to all 'friends of SOS', that they should always confirm their availability or unavailability before the party. Rather, more appropriate to say, they must, they should take time out to attend these functions to encourage the cause that this group of ladies stand for. 

Congratulations to the organizers and the lovely hostesses for such a wonderful party and great hospitality.

M.G.M. Swimming pool.

View of the domes of MGM bulding from inside the pool. The crystal clear blue water. Chairs lined up for the spectators. Little pool for the toddlers. 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

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner school

Glimpses from the event When you first visit SOS Herman Gmeiner school Multan, you are amazed by its majestic architectural design, beautifully decorated class rooms, functional libraries, meticulously pruned playgrounds, clean walkways and glistening environment.
