Once, the circle of 'friends of SOS committee' starts, there is no looking back. Months, after months, members try to give their best, in entertainment, fun and in charity. What a fabulous idea of bringing all these things together. Which cannot be found anywhere else but here at the wonderful platform of this committee, which is run by Hania Shahid for the the noble cause of raising funds for children of SOS village.

For the month of October, the party was hosted by Asma Ather, Saima Tanvir, Atiqa Hussain, Romana Tanvir, Rani Maqsood, Tehmina Khakwani, Asifa Khawaja, Sara Alamgir, Minahil Atta, Sidra Bakhtawar. The ladies went on to arrange a tambola evening, on 13th September, at the beautiful venue of poolside 'cafe saints' at Ramada hotel Multan.

It turned out to be a fabulous show. A great number of members were there to attend. Saadia Yaqoob kicked off the evening by conducting tambola. A lot of excitement was there at every number announced. The game was finally won by Rubina Arshad.

Mahnaz Fareed addressed the gathering and thanked them for always supporting SOS children's village. She gave a presentation of upcoming events at SOS Herman Gmeiner school and projects at SOS village. She said, Multani-ites are the most generous people in Pakistan and are great contributors towards this cause.

Hostesses extended their hospitality by personally reaching out to every guest. They remained busy in providing them tickets and pencils for the game. They all looked fantastic and worthy of taking a selfie with. This responsibility was taken by our chirpy little bird Samreen Zeeshan. You can witness her amazing work at the bottom of this post.

The decor at Cafe saints was amazing. A touch of elegance, which told, you are at Ramada Multan, was added to everything. Chairs and napkins were tucked with flowers, tables loaded with fresh flowers, ambiance fragrant with scented candles. Felt like a setup to fall in love and it is true, we are all in love with this sacred cause of SOS.

At the end, as is Ramada's tradition, sumptuous hi-tea was served to all the guests. Well done hostesses. You never fail to impress, with your beautiful personalities and your kindness. Keep it up. Thank you.

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...

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.

Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar Mrs. Farrukh Mukhtar is a name synonymous with women empowerment in entire South Punjab. She is a living proof of the saying, 'empowered women, empower other women'.
