SOS committee party

Zenab, Hafsa, Tehmina Munir and a guest with Rani.

February was all taken by weddings, due to which, many of the committee parties (supposed to take place in February) automatically moved to March. SOS village committee for February, 2013, was held on 13th March, by three gorgeous women Tehmina Munir, Misbah Idrees and Samina Qureshi.

It was a full rainy day. The venue was, the beautiful house of Misbah Idrees. Adorned with candle lights and flower arrangements, specially to brighten the occasion.

The surprise of the show, was a 'naat khwani' session, by the girls of SOS village. Totally unannounced, but something which imparted a spirit and theme to the party. Followed by chit chat of the SOS administration about the upcoming events.

Later, the guests were entertained by a scrumptious, sumptuous, tea-dinner. The dinning table was a great show of extravagance, loaded with variety of 'diet food', made by extremely fitness conscious, fit smart lady, Mrs. Tehmina Munir. Misbah had also contributed generously in the menu.

The hostesses were all, very hospitable. And attended each and every member with care. Indeed, beautiful people, transform, even simple things and occasions to splendid ones, with their magical touch. And this was indeed the case with this party.

We congratulate, these lovely ladies, their effort is specially commendable, because it takes a lot of hard work and effort, to arrange such functions at home. And you did your best in doing so.God bless you all.

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. 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...

Maria BB's dholki at Tehmina Munir's

Glimpses of the resplendent event at Tehmina Munir's house. SOS children's village Multan is a little wonderland. Where children are raised with all the love in the world. No blood relatives are required for the purpose, as SOS villages have their own family system and nurture a congenial environment. A village consists of several houses. Each house is an abode to ten children. Looked after by a lady, appointed as 'mother'. She is responsible for taking care of the household chores and of the children like a mother. In short, it is made sure, they receive the affection of sisters, brothers and a mother. If there are siblings residing in the village, it is ensured, they are housed together. So, they are not deprived of their blood relations as well. For the rest, the generous and kind 'friends of SOS' are always there to extend their loving gestures. The monthly committee party system is adopted to keep them actively involved in the life at SOS village and en...
