Friends of SOS at SOS village Multan

Glimpses from the event

The children at SOS village Multan are the happiest, when they have visitors. They are the most social, sociable, entertaining, hospitable kind of people you will ever come across.

You believe you are going there to give them your precious time or something else, but on returning, you realize that it is actually you, who has received a lot more. More love, more care, attention and the feeling that you have done it for a noble cause.

As, the Corona restrictions eased for a while and social gatherings were allowed, friends of SOS decided to arrange the monthly committee party at the SOS village Multan.

Hostesses for the month of February were, Dr. Zahida Sabih, Rabia Rehman, Farah Faisal, Shazia Fareed, Saadia Yaqub, Saleha Bokhari, Zehra Basit, Fatima Fazal.

Before the Corona times, Mahnaz Fareed, the head of all SOS village projects in Multan, had started birthday celebrations of the children of SOS in 'friends of SOS' monthly committee parties. The purpose was to make special days of these children truly special. Also to acquaint and introduce them to all the members, who contribute for them through these parties.

February was dedicated to an extremely capable debater, a very bright and well love student, Abdullah Khan and he celebrated his day with others who had their birthdays in the same month.

Birthday children were dressed in beautiful clothes. shinning like stars, faces full of smiles. There were games, there were cakes, there were birthday decorations, guests and all that, what is necessary for making a birthday extra special. A good number of friends of SOS managed to reach at the event, despite the concerns over Corona issues, but the SOPs were strictly followed.

The event was filled with joy and laughter. Rameen Anis and Rabia Rehman conducted the games. Saima Faisal and Saadia Yaqub announced the winners. The visiting friends of SOS were also given a tour of the houses at the village and they were thoroughly impressed by the fabulous living conditions.

Samreen Zeeshan said, she was surprised to see the amazingly beautiful building of SOS. She said, if she had not witnessed it personally, it was beyond her imagination that a charity based organization could have such remarkable living standards. Dr. Munazza Nasir , expressed her amazement, how these children were being brought up in a congenial, family based atmosphere.
