Islamabad : Children are very close to our heart. Let us join hands to show respect to orphan children and advocate their rights to eradicate discrimination and help them become valuable members of this society.
The Chairman of the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) Abrar-ul-Haq extended the above invitation at a ceremony organized to celebrate ‘World Orphans Week’ here at its National Headquarters on Friday, with the Turkish Ambassador’s wife Zlatomira Yurdakul as the chief guest and patron-in-chief of Pakistan Sweet Homes Zammurrud Khan as the guest of honour.
Speaking on the occasion, Abrar said, “We have gathered here to make these orphan children realize that they are not alone and are in fact a very important part of our society.” He said taking care of orphan and helpless children is a collective responsibility. “Everyone of us has to play his part to make these children useful citizens of the society. Involving them in nation-building activities by providing them care, support and protection is the need of the hour,” he added.
