Supporting a Pakistani School

Fund raising dinner in support of a school in Pakistan. This is a project through the International Committee of our Rotary Club working with The Citizen’s Foundation (TCF) – a well-established organization operating 900 schools in rural Pakistan.

The dinner will be an opportunity to recognize major donors. The goal is to raise $9000, which will be matched by the Rotary Club. The dinner will be held on Friday May 30 at 5 p.m at the Brampton Golf Club. Tickets are $50 each, or a table of 8 for $400.

EM will be the well-loved Ali Hassan, and entertainment will be provided by Anwar Khurshid of the Toronto School of Sitar. Contact Badar Shamim for tickets – 905-456-2024 badar.shamim@gmail.com

The school in Pakistan is an afternoon shift in a secular school of about 200 children (both boys and girls). The staff are all female, which both provides employment and ensures that girls can attend classes. The morning shift of the school is supported by Magna International.

Let’s support our final international project for the 2013-4 program year.
