SOS village school, goes higher

The motivated soul, Mahnaz Fareed.

Mahnaz Fareed, is one lady who never fails to amaze the world. It was just few years ago that, Herman Gmeiner school was started here in Multan. Within, a short period, the number of students is increased to a mighty strength of 1200 pupils. And not just that, this super-woman Mahnaz is all set to start the college this summer.

For this purpose, the lady has formed an 'executive board'. Which consists of 11 members. Dr. Yaqub Nasir, Rameen Anis, Rubina Arshad, Saira Nasir, Haniya Shahid, Ayesha Najeeb, Saadia Yaqub, Samana Ali, Fariha Munir Shah and Dr. Amna Awan.

And the first meeting of the board, for an introduction with the faculty members and to decide the pros and cons of the new project was arranged, at her beautiful home, on 8th March. Each member, was handed over a file, with all the details of syllabi, the events to be organized, the topics of the debates for different classes, how the teachers are assessed, etc. Extremely well planned, organized and disciplined indeed.

Mahnaz, consulted each and every member for each and every detail and took their suggestions and criticism with open heart.
The college (H.S.S.C) project is ready to be launched this summer, with an introductory summer school.

And also in cue, is a spring festival, coming up at end of March. All schools and other institutions are invited to join in to make it a success. By selling the tickets and being there at the event. Remember, it is all for the sake of charity.

See, Mahnaz Fareed is a lady, who takes the world along, provides people an opportunity to contribute in goodness. Simply no words to admire, this dedicated soul. Except that, she is mother Teresa of Multan.

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...
