ARZU - an active effort to promote philanthropy!

HOPE is dedicated in bringing a positive change in the society and youth is the major agent of change. The youth needs inspiration and motivation from real life stories and experiences. By taking this view point along, HOPE organized a training event “Arzu” at Arts Council on 27^th February which was an active effort to promote philanthropy among youth. In this regard, The City School PAF Chapter Outreach Society collaborated with HOPE, considering it as their social responsibility to make the event a success and to help HOPE spread education across the country!

 The trainers of the event covered many aspects of learning and motivated the participants in achieving a specific developmental goal through self-reliant efforts. It was a four hour event through which HOPE strived to give maximum learning opportunities and a chance to enjoy to all the participants.

The event also included a social play which was performed by the students of The City School PAF Chapter A levels section followed by a panel discussion. The panel included Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - Chairperson HOPE, Dr. Fateh Mohammad Burfat - Professor of Sociology at University of Karachi, Hira Tareen - A renowned model, actress and a DJ, Urooj Moiz - Mind Sciences Trainer, Aqsa Junejo - Journalist, Mr. & Mrs. Faheem - Owner Faheems School System, Ms. Khadija Rizvi - member of HOPE's Helper Committee.
