Hostesses in a funky mood with Sos children

The first resplendent 'friends of SOS' party of the year 2020 was hosted by a gorgeous group of girls. Zeb, Madiha, Ayesha, Eesha, Maria, Hafsah, Zahra, Saira, Ramla and Khadeeja. Their motto was, let us celebrate the new year with style and they left no stone unturned to prove this statement. They hosted a lunch on 18th January, venue was Cafe saints at Ramada, the most happening place in the city of saints these days.

When two superb event organizers like Khadeeja Babbar and Zahra Khalid are hosting a event together, there is no limit to creativity and beauty. Everything seemed to be draped in Black and Gold, matching with hostesses' attires. Flowers, fauna, variety of decorations adorned each and every corner. There was a special display , meant to be used as photo booth , with greetings to welcome the year 2020.

As now, birthday celebrations of SOS children born in the same month, have become an essential part of 'friends of SOS' committee party. There were special cakes for them, shaped in digits 2020, another amazing way to welcome the new year. Special gifts were arranged for the birthday children by the hostesses. All the attendees wanted to have pictures with children of SOS, which made them feel like celebrities. They were shy at a moment and joyous at the other.

Entertainment for the guests was also arranged by the hostesses. A tambola was conducted at the event and prizes were given to the winners. On behalf of team SOS, Hania Shahid thanked the hostesses for their hospitality and generosity towards SOS children, specially those whose birthdays were celebrated there. She said, that friends of SOS Multan are making a huge contribution in the lives of these children, parting special lifetime memories for the children.

Full of talents that SOS children are, they also went on to give various performances, like singing, naat khwani and recitation of Quranic verses. Truly admired by the audience for their skills and spirit.

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).

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...
