The birthday children's bunch
The biggest headlines of British royal tour of Prince William and Princess Kate to Pakistan in October 2019, were their visit to SOS village and celebration of birthday of SOS children with them. This news breathed in happiness, among all those associated with this sacred cause. How could then 'friends of SOS Multan' could be left behind.
To cherish the spirit, as a gesture of thanks and appreciation for the act of kindness shown by the royal visitors, they decided to continue the same spirit passing to children of SOS in their November party. Arranged at beautiful, open air, poolside restaurant, cafe' saints at Ramada Multan. Hosted by Ayesha Farzana, Farah Ilyas, Rehana Anwar, Mehnaz Khwaja, Rabia Bosan, Zahra Hussain, Attia Muzaffar, Mehria Omer, Misbah Ali and Maemoona Qasim. The generous hosts offered a lavish birthday party, together for nine of the SOS children, who were born in the month of November. From party decorations to gifts and all the detailed arrangements of the event, it was unbelievable to think, it was the birthday of some under privileged children. A proper stage was raised with birthday wishes in the background for the cake cutting ceremony and not just one or two, but more than ten amazingly beautiful cakes were placed there, alongwith the birthday bounties and gifts for the birthday children. Too much effort and personal care was evident in all the arrangements. When inquired, people learned that, Misbah Ali, one of the hostesses, took help and guidance from her daughter Manahil and designed the event accordingly for SOS birthday children, as her daughter would have wished for her own birthday party. And this little lady, Manahil Ali, not only remained a helping hand with her mother in distributing birthday bounties but also played piano singing 'happy birthday to you', when the actual cake cutting ceremony took place. What a wonderful to inculcate the plant philanthropy in the hearts of your children. A gesture, which must be cherished and admired. Great work, Misbah and Minahil. Rameen Anis conducted the show and provided an update about activities going on at SOS village and H.G. Hrman school Multan. She invited Mahnaz Fareed to address the gathering, Mahnaz thanked the hostesses and Ramada for their valuable contributions and also reminded them, the amazing gesture shown by the royal visit. She invited everybody to be part of the cake cutting ceremony. Entire gathering, went to singing the birthday song. A scrumptious hi-tea menu awaited them at the end. Splendid effort by the hostesses and team SOS. Keep it up.  Samreen, Asma, Rabia , Hania, Rubina Arshad Saadia Yaqoob, Fariha Munir, Rameen Anees and Zahra Bassat    Gorgeous Mala Ahsan

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.
