After a summer break in July, the friends of SOS resumed partying with a superb hi-tea, hosted by Aarfa Waqar, Afsheen, Amna Dogar, Fauzia, Seemi Khan, Mona, Irum Mansoor, Neelam Zia, Rahat Khakwani and Sania Khan at Lahore Chatkhara multan branch. The group also arranged a fun filled 'Tambola' with lots of prizes.

There was a lot of excitement in the air as all the members were eager to meet and reconnect with their friends after summer break and exchange stories of their vacations and were ready for some fun. And these friends of SOS had provided them this opportunity. The hostesses showed great hospitality, from inviting the members to entertaining them. 


Haniya Shahid, also played her role of permanent hostess, as she not only runs this friends of SOS committee but also is the owner of Lahore Chatkhara Multan branch. Beautiful ambiance of her restaurant was further enhanced by the perfect menu and personal touch she provided for the party.

Rameen Anis gave a presentation about the summer activities, which went on at the SOS village, Multan. She described, how friends of SOS remained active on the scene, by spending time and money to support children of SOS. A special thank was extended to the 'make a wish, come true' contributors, which included the name of Mala Ahsan.

Mahnaz Fareed also added her gratitude toward all the friends of SOS and and admired their spirit of philanthropy. She said, friends of SOS are a permanent source of support for children of SOS. As the amount they contribute every month, brings great difference in their lives.

Tambola was the fun part of the show. Fariha Munir Shah was handed over the responsibility to conduct it. And she spiced it up by adding funny comments and jokes. Which had some rolling on the floor, laughing and some were bemused. Everybody enjoyed the game. Rameen Anis, Asmi Athar and Ammarra Nazir, won the prizes for this.

At the end, a scrumptious menu was laid. Which not only spoke of the generosity of the hostesses but also of the great management of Lahore Chatkhara Multan Branch. Well done everybody, it was a fabulous show.

A great shout out and thanks to Dr. Jawad Munir and Engineer Aamir Sultan for their photographic skills. Thanks a lot gentlemen for your efforts.

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. There is a subject of  'general knowledge', which is based on the colorful books in their library, it requires th...
