PRLog -- Happy faces, colourful clothes, spirit to serve humanity, smiles on the faces; such were the scenes of Grand Iftar arranged by HOPE – a health NGO in Pakistan (http://hope-
ngo.com/). Since its inception HOPE has made it a tradition to help the underprivileged enjoy the month of Ramadan and the festivity of Eid. HOPE over the years has made sure that these deprived students who are receiving quality and free education at HOPE schools don't feel debarred and ignored in the festivities during Ramadan and Eid. Hence, along with other iftar dinners and distribution of iftar and briyani boxes, HOPE, every year organizes a grand iftar in which the students of all Karachi home schools and formal school are invited.
This Grand Iftar, which HOPE – an education NGO in Pakistan (http://hope-
ngo.com/), has been organizing over the past nine years, had about 1500 students from formal and informal schools in Zia Colony, Sachal Goth, Manzoor colony, Mujahid colony, Bhittaiabad, Bilal Colony, Ghaggar, Bhains Colony, Rari Goth. The iftar is sponsored by standard chartered every year. Around 200 guests from HOPE and Standard Chartered attended the iftar this year and witnessed the smiles and joy of those needy students during the iftar and dinner and the enthusiasm and eagerness of the students as they ecstatically received Eid gifts from Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – child specialist in Karachi (

Before iftari, the volunteers of Standard Chartered Bank arranged an activity for the students which they really enjoyed. The activity included: drawing, painting, games and storytelling. At the end of the activity, the students were given candy floss and goody bags which included stationery items. All in all, this was an evening filled with ecstasy. The happiness and excitement was easily seen on the faces of children which was the main purpose of this Iftar party.
