Friends of SOS August/Sept Karaoke party

Performance by children of SOS


Friends of SOS village Multan is a great platform where even partying has a sacred and noble cause of helping the underprivileged children.

On 5th September 2023, they arranged their monthly committee meetup with a karaoke night at Ramada hotel Multan.
Mahnaz Fareed Sheikh, the head of all Sos projects in Multan and hostess of the event, welcomed the guests and presented a detailed account of achievements of children of SOS and SOS Herman Gmeiner school. Most important and newest feather in the cap of SOS Multan, SOS children's home. Which was inaugurated by the governor Punjab in August.
Tabloids by the children which took place on the inaugural event, were again displayed for the friends of sos. The touching performance, video stories of children at Sos and how far they have arrived, left many members in tears. To ease the situation, the karaoke contest was carried on. The members were divided into two groups of singers and children of SOS were requested to judge which group was the best. Rameen Anis and Haniya Shahid, hosted that part.
Followed by a hi tea, it turned out to be an enlightening and entertaining event altogether.

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.

She is the president of Ladies club Multan. A social platform, which exists fo

Annual debates at SOS Herman Gmeiner school

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. There is a subject of  'general knowledge', which is based on the colorful books in their library, it requires th
