Mehfil-e-Milaad at HOPE School, Thatta.

A Mehfil-e-Milad was held on 18th January, 2017 at HOPE School, Thatta, keeping the tradition of arranging religious events at HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan.

It started with the recitation of the Holy Quran. Hamds and Naats were recited by children of all classes as well as few teachers. Children informed the audience about the habits of a true ‘momin’ and stated examples from ahadith. The milad ended with salam and dua; sweets and refreshment were distributed among the students and guests. The HOPE staff made all the seating and audio arrangements for the event and their efforts were praised.

Dr Mubina Agboatwalla - a child specialist in Karachi, also attended the event to encourage the children and applaud their efforts.  She paid particular attention on the arrangement and preparation of this event. 

Moreover, it is ensured that all HOPE schools arrange extra-curricular activities that help the children to explore various interests that they may have. Getting involved in extracurricular activities also allows students to get involved in diverse interests as it is important for them to be very diverse in their interests.

HOPE - a Health NGO in Pakistan believes that activities like these allow your child to make a contribution in some way. It shows that they are getting away from just thinking about themselves and contributing to something else. This is important in their growth as a person and events like these also instill love and enthusiasm in the children to celebrate religious occasions with high spirits.
