Dear Fellow Abdalians
I had the honor and privilege to attend a meeting held by the office bearers of Hasanabdal Old Boys Association (HOBA) . One of the subject matters for the meeting was the establishment of a relief camp located in a very remote area that is hard to reach.
The meeting was attended by President HOBA Syed Ishfaq Hussain (13th entry), V.P HOBA Engineer Mr Sikandir Khattack (11th entry), Secretary Finance Capt Retd Nayyar Islam, (15th entry), Member Executive Body Mr Amjad Saeed Yazdani , Secretary General HOBA Dr Faisal Manzoor and myself as a guest Qaisar Manzoor.
I must say with pride that close to RS 1.2 million were collected for this project between the six participants at the spot. At the moment we need a minimum of 2.5 million and this project wouldn’t be completely successful unless there is a full participation by most Abdalians. The intention is to run the camp for the whole month of Ramazan. My fellow Abdalian in the great spirit of who we are please count your blessings and help the needy and most deserved. I would like to post the account # where you can transfer your donations and 100% of your donations would go to the victims of the floods.
