Even before the beginning of Ramadan, we start preparing for
Ramadan with great excitement, we look forward for Eid feasts and our long
awaited family reunions.
Then there are those unfortunate members of society, who can’t even afford to buy a full meal, let alone the luxury of wearing new clothes. For the children belonging to low-socioeconomic backgrounds, it gets even worse. It will take time to fully eradicated the poverty but we surely can do something to lessen the pain! HOPE-an NGO in Pakistan, has taken the initiative to spread joy and smiles among the children of HOPE schools.

HOPE-an NGO in Pakistan, has taken the initiative to spread joy and smiles among the children of HOPE schools.
As in the preceding years HOPE- a charitable NGO in Pakistan once again arranged
a Grand Iftar sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank. This time it
was held at a P&T ground to accommodate a very large number of people.
Approximately 1600 students from several HOPE- an educational NGO in Pakistan, schools
along with a hundred Standard Chartered volunteers participated at
the Iftar party. The Children enjoyed the occasion as much as the
visiting Standard Chartered guests. Moreover prior to Iftar, volunteers from
Standard Chartered visited school and conducted activity regarding
entrepreneurship for the students.
Iftar was served immediately at maghrib and the students
and the guests were provided with a variety of delicious eatables and cold
drinks to break their fasts with. Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi made
sure that all preparations and arrangements were appropriate and that all the
guests, students and staff were properly served.
It was at
this point that all the children were given free clothing sponsored by Act of
Goodwill and given by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi, making
them all ecstatically happy. After which, dinner was served at this point in
the form of biryani. Then the children lined up again to board their respective
buses to go back to their respective schools and on wards to their homes, thus
bringing a very eventful and happy evening to a close.
