  • Zainab Raza is a bright and beautiful example of young, empowered women, who try to empower other women around them. Zainab, completed her studies from Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan and now serves there as lecturer in department of English. Also extends her services as the Coordinator at Lincoln Corner, which works under U.S. Department of State.

    This appointment has provided her an opportunity to educate the youth, specially female students about subjects like, women's emancipation, financial independence, gender equality and human rights, etc. For the purpose, successful people from different walks of life are invited at Lincoln's corner to share their stories with youth and inspire them to aim better in life. Although her efforts are not limited to any gender. Yet, her focus remains women's activism. 
  • On 25th October 2019, a speakers session on overcoming gender stereotypes in the workplace was organized for English Access Microscholarship Program students at Lincoln corner Multan. The living legend of a female entrepreneur, Masooma Sibtain (owner/designer of Trends boutique, former V.President of FPCCI, former president and spokesperson of WCCIMD) was invited alongwith blogger, writer, entrepreneur, Fariha Munir Shah as mentors. Both of them shared inspirational stories about challenges in life and how they managed to overcome them.

    The students were truly impressed by the ideas discussed and seemed fascinated by the direction shown by these two experienced ladies. Specially Masooma Sibtain was cherished as a super star. Later, the students went on to have their selfies and group photos with them and also had their autographs. Sadeya Baig of Access program, Sanobra from department of English BZU were among those who attended the event.

    This event was widely covered by print and social media. US consulate General Lahore, also shared the details of it on their official page.  
    Hats off to Zainab Raza, it is due to such hard working people that Pakistanis become aware of the efforts made by     U.S. Department of State inorder to open their minds, educate about endless world of possibilities, about their civil and human rights, gender parity and a lot more that they are unaware of. Thanks a lot and well done for all the striving and struggle. Keep it up.

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
