EID GIFT DISTRIBUTION AT HOPE HOME SCHOOLS- KASHMIR

Eid is a joyous occasion for all the Muslims. The true essence of Eid can be accomplished through sharing happiness with deprived people. If people from poor class remain famished; the whole happiness of Eid will tarnish.

Eid Al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and also well known as the festival of “Breaking the Fast”. Millions of Muslims around the world gather with their family and friends, attending morning prayers, giving donations to charity and having feasts together. HOPE- An NGO in Pakistan, with its promise to stand by with Pakistani citizens in any sort of need has once again depicted solidarity with the deprived children of our nation.

HOPE- an Educational NGO in Pakistan, after organizing iftar dinners at its formal schools and home schools throughout the nation, demonstrated the philanthropic spirit by distributing Eid gifts among their studentsat the Home schools in Kashmir.

Kashmir includes many districts some of which were targeted by HOPE for the distribution of Eid clothes, the districts are as follows: Malsi, Parour, Habib dori, Dhanibakian, Banilangryal, Dakhnakarbani.

The students who study in these schools are the children of laborers, drivers, maids who work in the houses to earn a living for them. These students are living under the poverty line. Even the thought of having books and going to school is nothing, but a mere imagination and a dream for the children studying in these schools.

HOPE under the supervision of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- A Child Specialist in Karachi, will keep working hard to improve the living standard of the children and poor communities by fulfilling their basic rights and bringing smiles on their faces.

Their euphoric expressions at viewing those gifts and their feelings at being included in the festivities of Eid were extremely satisfying.There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child’s face brighten up, as they were given Eid clothes, this was the perfect opportunity to make their Eid extra special. Their gratifying expressions at viewing those clothes and their feelings at being included in the festivities of Eid were extremely satisfying.

 

RATION DISTRIBUTION DURING THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN

A large size of population in Pakistan is deprived of the basic necessities of life. However, there is a silver lining on the darkening sky in the form of NGO’s like HOPE. HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan has been doing philanthropic activities since the beginning of Ramadan so that even the less privileged ones can enjoy the festivities of Ramadan and Eid.

Along with Eid clothes, iftar and biryani distribution, HOPE team has also been distributing ration bags to the needy families during the month of ramadan.

Ration bags were distributed among the poor and needy students in Bilal colony, also among the needy students and patients in Zia Colony Formal School and Hospital.Communities residing in far flung areas across Karachi, which includes, Ghaggar, Bhens colony, Link road and Dhabeji etc. were provided with ration bags.

HOPE-A Health NGO in Pakistan distributes rations among the poor every year throughout Ramadan. The teams were sent to distribute the ration bags among the needy households at various HOPE centers including hospitals and schools, where the vans filled with food items and ration bags were sent to different slum areas of Karachi, rural areas of Sindh, Thatta, Sujawal, Muzaffargarh and Azad Jammu and Kashmir for distribution among needy households. Recently food items and ration bags were distributed at the door steps of needy families to avoid hurting their feelings. More than 1500 ration bags were distributed among the needy families residing there.

The team will continue to distribute ration till the end of Ramadan. The children and patients are delighted to receive the ration as they belong to the low-income class who cannot even afford to buy basic grocery and enjoy their Ramadan and Eid. Seeing the innocent smiles on the faces of the children is extremely gratifying and it affirms our belief that all the efforts, the hassle, the obstacles are worth going through just to see a smile on the faces of these children who can’t afford to enjoy the festivity of Ramadan and Eid to its fullest. These activities are carried out under the supervision of Dr. MubinaAgboatwalla - A child specialist in Karachi who is also the chairperson of HOPE.

IFTAR AND GIFT DISTRIBUTIONAT ZIA COLONY

Zia Colony, with its destiny quivered and with its faith solaced has had its fair share of bad draughts. However, there’s always a silver lining in a dark cloud. In Zia’s case, that silver lining is HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan.  HOPE has been a token of selflessness since its inception. A school along with a hospital, established at Zia. Zia always, being under-privileged and idyllic in nature is now on the route to advancement because of the noble work done by HOPE and its donors.

While arranging Iftar dinners for various HOPE schools, the school in Zia was not forgotten and an Iftar party was also arranged at Zia Hospital for the students and staff of HOPE Zia School as well as the staff of HOPE Zia Hospital. The evening was filled with ecstasy. An approximate of 280 people were present, which included a hefty number of children and staff members. These people were none other than the beneficiaries of the magnanimity of HOPE

The Iftar party was organized under the surveillance of Dr.Mubina Agboatwalla– A Child Specialist in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE.

During the Iftar students, who are enrolled in Zia Formal School, started their iftar in an enchanted manner, the joy on the faces of the HOPE helpers was priceless. What for most of us is a routine iftar, turned out to be a festival for them. The delight on the faces of those children proved that they are extremely happy with the Iftar arranged by HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan.

The iftar dinner was followed by distribution of Eid clothes, which further increased their happiness and excitement. The children were really eager to receive the Eid clothes, as they belong to the families who can hardly afford new clothes for any occasion. Eventually, the evening had to come to an end. But what came out of it, “their happiness” which was priceless. What were before iftar, scrawny faces with eyes sucked deep into their sockets, were now faces filled with ecstasy and complacency.  All of this has to be credited to HOPE and its donors.

AN EVENING FILLED WITH ECSTASY AT HOPE GURUMANDIR HOSPITAL

 The Holy month Ramadan has always brought joy to the Muslims, but unfortunately the case is not always true for people who are deprived of basic needs. Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A Child Specialist in Karachi not only understands the importance of education for the impoverished and how it can help create a positive impact in improving their lives, she also takes care of the opportunities she can provide to give them some moments to cherish specially during Ramadan. Under her leadership, HOPE is making ends meet to share the bounties with the underprivileged communities in every nook and corner of Pakistan.

Being a deliverer of happiness and joy to thousands of poverty-stricken Pakistanis, HOPE - A Health NGO in Pakistan, arranged Iftar for the students of HOPE Home Schools throughout the rural areas of Karachi and urban slums.  The Iftar was held at HOPE Gurumandir Hospital, where students were seated in long rows for the Iftar. Their excitement seemed to rise when a variety of food items were served to them.

HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, pays particular attention on the selection and preparation of the iftar items. Everything was closely monitored to ensure that every student was served good quality food items. Dates, samosas, pakoras, jalebis, bananas, rolls and patties were part of the menu which was served to them. Sharbet was also served to them which served as the most desirable item on the table. The Iftar was later followed by delicious biryani which was given to the students. The children enjoyed the iftar party with their fellow students among happy chatters and giggles.

Approximately 250 students enjoyed the iftarand dinner. The iftar was a long-awaited event for these underserved children of HOPE Home schools, who were extremely happy to open their fast together. The innocent smiles on the faces of the children were extremely gratifying and affirmed my belief that all the efforts, the hassle, the obstacles are worth going through just to see a smile on the faces of those underprivileged children.

HOPE ON THE MISSION TO FEED THE IMPOVERISHED

Communities residing in far flung areas across Sindh are indeed very poor and during Ramadan, HOPE -An NGO in Pakistan provides help to them in the form of food distribution. Recently in the underprivileged communities of the society; HOPE has distributed biryani packet among the children and the underprivileged families in different rural areas.

The biryani packets were distributed to a very large number of people, bringing joy and smiles to their faces. Such distribution of food by HOPE is conducted on a regular basis throughout the month of Ramadan, in rural slum areas and in the villages on the edge of the city. These people were delighted to receive the iftar boxes, as they belong to the low-income class who cannot afford to enjoy eating a good Iftar like we do.

HOPE-A Health NGO in Pakistan has been unrelentingly feeding hundreds of destitute people and children during the holy month of Ramadan as part of its Ramadan campaign since the past many years. HOPE manages to provide food for the lesser fortunate the community to feed the underserved.

Women, children and patients or handicapped individuals are usually deprived of the opportunities as they cannot go out and access food distributors in the presence of a large crowd. The smile on the faces of these children is priceless.

As a result of this prospect provided by HOPE has reached out to even a larger number of downtrodden communities during this Ramadan. Under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla-A Child Specialist in Karachi, HOPE gave them an opportunity to enjoy the sumptuous food that they could only dream of.

HOPE’s MEDICAL CAMP AT THATTA & SUJAWAL

Pakistan is attributed to the lack of access to basic health care services, poverty, lack of health infrastructure and personnel, illiteracy, women’s low status, inadequate water supplies and sanitation. In the urban areas, access to health care clinics and facilities is not a problem, though the general state and quality of public services is very poor. On the other hand, in the rural areas, people live far from hospitals and basic health care units.

Keeping these indicators in mind HOPE- An Health NGO in Pakistan has initiated a step forward in collaboration with it partners to provide free health check-ups so that health status of these underprivileged masses can be improve and timely treated.
