Iftar Dinner at Bhattaiyabad.

It is that time of the year once again when HOPE- a health NGO in Pakistan is always in full swing in arranging Iftar dinners for the underprivileged children and distributing food boxes among the poor and needy residing in slum areas of Karachi and distant villages and towns on the very fringes of this city.
To continue its tradition of arranging iftar dinners for the underprivileged students and distributing Eid clothes among them, HOPE - an NGO in Pakistan, once again arranged an Iftar dinner at Bhattaiyabad where the students of HOPE semi-formal schools, which are located in Sachal and Bhattaiyabad, were invited.




The Iftar party was sponsored by HCI and organised under the surveillance of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla - a Karachi based child specialist and chairperson of HOPE - a health NGO in Pakistan.


There were around 500 students who attended this party. The Iftar menu included bananas, patties, samosas, chicken-potato cutlets, spring rolls and a brownie along with two types of sharbat. The children seemed delighted to be a part of this iftar party. They really enjoyed eating their iftari. Once the children were done eating iftari, Ration bags and ghee containers were given to the most deserving and needy children. Subsequently, Eid clothes were distributed among all students according to their sizes by Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - a child specialist in Karachi along with other key members of HOPE. The excitement of receiving new clothes for Eid could easily be seen on their faces. The Eid clothes distribution was followed by a delicious dinner in which Haleem and naan were served. Then the children lined up again to board to their respective buses to go back to their respective schools and onwards to their homes, thus bringing a very eventful and happy evening to a close.
