Friends of SOS is the only one committee group in the city of saints which agglomerates, so many resplendent causes together. First and foremost being the welfare of children of SOS village. Then it provides a huge platform with 180 members for the ladies to socialise. That too not for just for being social but for a worthy cause of helping humanity.

After its kick off party in September, the month of October fell to another remarkable group of ladies. Who managed to gather a record turnover for the party. Afshan Waseem, Asma Nadeem, Mrs. Iram Mannan, Kiran, Riffat, Mrs. Khalid, Khadija Zubair, Rabia and Zeba, the hostesses of this party left no stone unturned to extend invitations at the personal level. Each and every member of the committee was called by one of the hostesses, alongwith text messages as reminder of the party.

And Voila! The result could be seen at the gathering. Every corner of the venue was bustling with ladies. Lahore Chatkhara Multan branch was totally booked for friends of SOS. Hania Shahid, the gorgeous owner of the marvellous restaurant was among the guests and hostesses to keep the things rolling perfectly. Each and every member was treated as a VIP. Perfect kind of hospitality displayed by group of hostesses, as well as Hania.

All the members appeared fresh and beautiful. The pleasant change of weather was evident in their apparels. No other restaurant would ever host a menu as rich as laid by Lahore Chatkhara Multan for the parties hosted for friends of SOS. Simply aperitive.

Rameen Anees displayed pictures and video clips of the previous function arranged by friends of SOS and encouraged all members to involve children of SOS village in their parties as well, which was brilliantly done by the members of first party. Mahnaz Fareed also pressed upon the point that children of SOS must not be left out, as they are the reason behind holding all these activities. So, all those, who have their parties coming up, must keep a part for SOS children to play.

The party was a mega hit. Amazing number of members. Superb arrangement. Beautiful and hospitable hostesses, what else one can wish to see at a party. Congratulations to all those involved in putting it together. Keep up the good work.

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. You look at the well mannered, disciplined, full of smiles students, extremely efficient staff members, all this makes you believe that this must be a high end school. To be honest, it is equally great in all its standards. Rather better in some, as they have Rosetta Stone library, through its audio/video English learning methods, children of this school have acquired exceptional accents and perfect pronunciations. Each student has access to laptop in computer class, their teachers use smartboard alongwith blackboard. Even their teachers are assessed and guided with the help of executive committee members.
