HOPE’s Muzaffargarh School: Distribution Of Iftar & Eid Clothing & Gifts.

Like the many schools of  HOPE, an education related NGO in Pakistan, where Ramadan activities of distributing Iftar boxes, gifts and Eid clothing took place during Ramadan – the Muzaffargarh school was not neglected and a simillar activity was held there too for the benefit  of all the students of this school.

The occasion, as in the other schools of HOPE, an education and Health related NGO in Pakistan, was a very happy  one. All the children attended this activity and were made to assemble according to their classes. Their sense of  anticipation of receiving Iftar and Eid gifts was almost tangible and they were impatient to receive them.

The Iftar was a very enjoyable one consisting of the delicacies suited for the occasion: samosas, pakoras, kababs etc.  of different varieties. It was fun time for all and the chatter was non-stop – the jokes were abundant and a full belly made things even more joyful.

Now  the time had arrived for the real thing, something they had been anxiously waiting all evening – the Eid gifts & clothing. But it was not a scramble – it was a very disciplined affair. The Eid clothing was organized along the age group of each class, so there was no problem with sizing  and the distribution went very well. The principal and the administrator  personally participated in the distribution.

As always particular attention was given by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi, in the selection and preparation of the iftar items and also the Eid clothing and gifts and everything was closely monitored by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi  to ensure that  nothing short of very good quality items were given to the children..

HOPE’s Distribution Of Iftar Boxes At Zia Colony School

It was that time of the year again. Half of  Ramadan had already passed by and  HOPE, a health related NGO in Pakistan was in full swing in the distribution of ration, clothing, iftar biryani and food boxes all over the impoverished and poor slum areas of Karachi, to the distant villages and towns on the very fringes of this city. 

But the Ramadan distributions of  HOPE, also an educational NGO in Pakistan  did not stop there – similar activities are being  carried out in Thatta, Sujawal and more will be carried out at Muzaffargarh and AJK Muzaffarabad.

HOPE’s Zia Colony School students were given a special treat – as they all  collected in their  respective classes and each one of them was provided with an Iftar box containing a selection of delicious eatables for them to open their fasts with or to take it home and share it with their family members. 

The occasion was a very happy one and all the students enjoyed the activity and helped in the distribution of the boxes making sure no one was left out. 

It was a very disciplined activity – spreading joy and smiles on the faces of all the students and their teachers who were also personally overseeing the whole occasion.

 As always particular attention was given by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi, in the selection and preparation of the iftar boxes and everything was closely monitored by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi  to ensure that  nothing short of very good quality items were packed into the iftar boxes.

HOPE’s Distribution Of Biryani At Bhittaibad & Link Road

In areas where drinking water is very scarce HOPE, a health related NGO in Pakistan has  helped many communities  by installing handpumps and thus preventing them from leaving their homes and migrating to places where drinking water was accessible to them and their livestock animals.

These communities are indeed very poor and during Ramadan, HOPE, also an educational NGO in Pakistan provides help to them in the form of ration distribution and food distribution. Recently in the communities of Nooriabad and Link Road  distribution of  biryani was made.

It was distributed to a very large number of people in both the areas – bringing joy and smiles to their faces.

Such distribution of  ration and food is done  on a daily basis  in very poor urban slum areas and  in the villages on the very edge of the city where the hand pumps were installed by HOPE  where HOPE had already installed the aforementioned hand pumps.

As always particular attention is given by Dr MubinaAgboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi, in the selection of the sites for the pumps. Quality and material of the hand-pumps is also closely checked by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi.

The water being extracted by hand pumps so far installed  is potable and fit for human consumption.

HOPE’s Iftar Get-together With Some Of Its Supporters And Friends.

Following tradition of previous years, it was once again time for  HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan to call for a gathering of some of HOPE’s friends and supporters – who were equally keen on such an occasion. HOPE also a health  NGO in Pakistan,  invites its friends and supporters to break the Ramadan fast together and also to have a sumptuous dinner later as the evening proceeded.

But this is not the real reason for the popularity of this get-together – it is because it gives everyone a chance to freely talk about new happenings, information and anticipated future developments in the respective fields that they relate to. Inevitably conversation does drift to current politics mostly local but some international too – but mostly the invitees were interested in finding out what the other invitees were upto and how they could benefit from the experiences that was being shared.

Amongst the invitees some of the known names were Mr Saad Amanullah, previous P&G  CEO,  one of the senior heads of Saylani Foundation, Health Program Officer of UNICEF, CSR chiefs of Standard Chartered Bank, Senior Co-ordinator of Jhpiego’s(USAID) Mchip program etc.

It was a very interesting and entertaining evening for everyone including HOPE’s staff who were very eager to listen to such stalwarts exchanging views on issues directly related to all of us.

It was a very enjoyable evening for all and when the guests departed they did so with big smiles, satisfied that their time was well spent – and promising to be back again next year.

 The occasion also gave   Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi, who has been the driving force in setting up all of HOPE’s  Schools and Hospitals  -  an opportunity to express some of her opinions to the visiting guests who appreciated  her views.

 Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi  has always maintained that the health and education assistance provided to the needy  should be of excellent quality.

A special meeting was called by the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industries to discuss various issues at the advent of the Holy Month Of Ramadan. Although the agenda was extensive but issues related to the collection and giving of support to the poor and needy specially in the field of Education & Health was emphasized. Both these issues are of particular interest to HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan  – as these are the two areas in which HOPE, also a health related NGO is completely focused on  and has experience and expertise of almost two decades.

HOPE’s Zia Colony School Visited By Standard Chartered Bank’s Motivational Training Team.

It was a very interesting day for the students of Zia Colony’s School belonging to HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan . It was not just interesting but entertaining too and by the end of the activity they were all enlightened to new ideas and new ways for self-employment that they otherwise would never have visualized by themselves.

HOPE & SCB Team

The SCB team consisted of expert trainers of entrepreneurial skills and what they aimed at was in implanting in the young minds new visions of entrepreneurship that they could hopefully use once they were finished with their studies. HOPE an educational  NGO in Pakistan, prepares these young students to become mentally and physically alert  and eager receivers of such valuable information.

HOPE & SCB Team

The SCB team devised schemes to test whether the young students possessed any entrepreneurial capabilities  – and the SCB team was surprised to find out that they were not let down – in fact they were quite encouraged with the results of the activities.
What the SCB team did was divide  the students into teams and dared them to come up with whatever business propositions that came to their  young minds. And what they came up  with was amazing.

One team proposed a whole set-up  of mobile phone retailing business inclusive of all services. Another team came up with brand retailing of clothing. And yet another with setting up of Shaadi Halls, considered a very lucrative business. There were more, of course, like a chain of beauty salons, boutiques, restaurant outlets etc.

The SCB team was planting new ideas in the minds of these students of HOPE’s Zia Colony School – ideas that they probably could use when grew up.

Satisfied that their job was well done, SCB team shared lunch boxes with all the students and spent some time in an open discussion.

Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi, has been the driving force in setting up all of HOPE’s  Schools and Hospitals  –  and in ensuring they are successfully and efficiently run  – which is why these hospitals and schools  have been  extremely  popular in the areas where they have been established.  Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi  has always maintained that the health and education assistance provided to the needy  should be of excellent quality.

HOPE Celebrates Annual Day of HOPE School in Thatta 2015

HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan, has played a vital role in providing free of cost quality education in the country for around fifteen years. It carries out a variety of activities to encourage its students who perform well in their respective classes.

Before going into summer vacation HOPE’s school in Thatta held its annual result ceremony on 27^th of May, 2015. HOPE, an NGO in Pakistan arranges this event every year to encourage its students to achieve more and to appreciate those who work hard.

 The ceremony started with the recitation of the Holy Qur’an followed by Naat which was recited by a female student. Students were excited to be part of this event as children from every class had a chance to show their talent. 

“This is a great way for enhancing the confidence level of the children” said Ms Kubra, the school incharge. 

The event was packed with other numerous performances and skits by the school children, who had put in a great effort in making the event very entertaining. There was a special dance performance by the children of HOPE school Thatta and the audience thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The students, who stood first, second and third in their respective classes were presented with gifts to further encourage their hard work. All the guests highly appreciated the program. The Chairperson of HOPE, Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla Child Specialist in Karachi congratulated the position holders and their parents and appreciated the efforts of the teachers.

The event was arranged by school’s staff in Thatta , and was attended by many guests who came in all the way from Karachi.  The distinguished guests distributed trophies and certificates among the position holders. School bags & Stationery items were also given to the kids at the end of the event.

There is no doubt that education is a neglected field in Pakistan. Many civil society organizations are working towards educating the undeserved living in both rural and urban areas.  HOPE also has a fair share in providing free of cost education to the underprivileged children so that they can gain knowledge and become an educated and citizen of Pakistan
