FROM THE DESK

Thank you very much to the members of the Management

Committee who attended our Eid Milan dinner. A number of

suggestions were put forward and one which we have been in

demand by members for quite some time is now approved.

a. All new comers can enjoy the first year of PIA membership

free.

b. From February 2015 one event every month will be planned

which will be mainly an outdoor activity in order to facilitate

the settlement of new comers.

It is expected that this will enable us to engage young students and

new migrant families and work with them.

Secondly, a very important note to remember is that if you know of

anyone who faces legal problems which may be of criminal or civil

nature please suggest to them to contact someone immediately.

There are a lot of support systems available in Australia. Most of the

time we are approached when it is already too late and no help could

be offered. We ensure the privacy of individuals and confidentiality so

please feel free to write.

Best Wishes

12th October 2014

Congratulations to the two Nobel Prize winners for the year 2015.Malala has emerged as the voice of young

girls from Pakistan and this honour is perhaps attributed to all the teachers specially ladies in Khyber

Pakhtunkhawa province of Pakistan who despite all the threats to their families and themselves are

determined to provide education to the children for a better Pakistan.

The state of public schools is also deplorable in a number of areas and the latest initiative is an excellent

opportunity for anyone who is interested to make this world a better place for those who have no access to

education. https://www.tameer-e-school.pk/

At the same time there is also a feeling among Pakistanis that our national figure Sattar Edhi who is the

founder of biggest ambulance network, philanthropist, social activist and humanitarian that even criminals in

Pakistan respect has been devoid of receiving nobel prize. This is one example of a social foundation that has

purely survived on the donations and not one penny from government funding. Bestowed upon all the

honors that one can receive in Pakistan as well as a doctorate, there is no match to his contribution to serve

humanity. It is perhaps time that the Karachi University should be named after him.

Child Health And Education Foundation has so far installed 160 Water Hand Pumps along with a SOLAR LIGHT (Lantern) costing us just Rs. 1,000/- or only US $ 10 to bring the light in the darkness for the poor people.

SCREENING MOVIE TORN

Watch an excellent performance by Mahnoor Baloch in the movie which depicts

the situation that Muslim communities are going through at the moment.

Western Australia. The tickets are priced at 10 dollars each and the rating of the

movie is M.

MATTERS OF THE HEART

The Seniors week event will be held at the Tuart Hill Community Centre on 15th November and

the delay in correspondence is really on our part which we apologise. The flu season in August has

really taken its toll on or members of management committee but we are all recovering fast.

AUSTRALIA AWARDS ALUMNI ELECTIONS

The elections were cancelled by the organisation giving bogus voting and fraudulent activities as a reason.

The new dates will be announced soon. A majority of members have expressed disappointment and it is

expected that the organisation needs to make the report public as to how many out of about 153 votes

were fraudulent and how come the management was unable to verify the voters before elections.
