Friends of SOS at Ramada

The group of organisers and hostesses

Friends of SOS committee parties for the months of November and December were held together on 13th December 2016. The hostesses were Farah Faisal, Rabia Rehman, Saliha Bokhari, Saadia Yaqub, Saima Faisal, Zahra Basset, Shazia Fareed, Romana Tanvir, Rani, Tasbiha, Sumera, Sadaf, Misbah, Minahil, Sidra, Assiya and Zainab.

This group was fortunate to have Saima Faisal in the list. Being the owner of Ramada, she not only encouraged her fellow members to organise it in her hotel but made extra efforts to make it even more resplendent and successful. Plenty of flowers were beautifully arranged on tables. Big screens were laid at every corner to give full coverage to activity going on, on the stage. A musical band was also there to perform.

The main event was a 'cooking show' by the chefs of Ramada. They expertly displayed their skills, explaining every step, answering queries of the inquisitive learners. The band also kept performing, in between the breaks, till the end. There were lots of games to keep the guests entertained. Being the generous kind that these hostesses generally are, they made sure there were loads of prizes for the participants.

The perfect presenter that Saadia Yaqub is, she made announcements, described the activities. Beautifully hosted the entire event. Mahnaz Fareed also addressed the gathering and thanked the hostesses and organisers for arranging this superb event. She also thanked the friends of SOS for their constant support and philanthropy.

At the end, a scrumptious feast was laid in the name of Hi-tea. Everybody enjoyed the entire event, from the beginning till the end. we congratulate the organisers and hostesses for putting a splendid show. 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...

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.

She was determined to uplift and raise their standards of living, through education and trainings. She was among first people to ever demand a separate university for the girls of Multan and remained persistent about it. Finally, it bore fruit, three decades later, in form of women's university Multan. Not just education, but she has worked for the social and economic empowerment of the women too. She is the president of Ladies club Multan. A social platform, which exists fo...
