Adverse weather meant the event took place within the newly constructed veranda but this did not dampen the spirit and joy of the celebrations enjoyed by all.

01 January 2018 – At Ibrahim Trust & Pakistan Welfare Association UK we are celebrating the new year rather differently.
We have now opened our annual admissions for the School & Madrassah students to provide free English medium education and Quran classes to orphans and poor children, in Tatral, Rawalpindi. We have been providing boarding and lodging facilities to Madrassah students since 2007 and free education to all of our school students, including free books as well to orphans and poor students since 2014.
From this year onwards we will also be providing free boarding and lodging facilities to orphans and poor school students from outside the local area. For the boarding students we will also pay their travel expenses, as and when they travel to visit their respective families. Moreover, to encourage the parents to send the children to the school, rather than forcing them into child labour, we will be providing financial help to the deserving families from our Zakat fund.
If you know an orphan or a poor child anywhere in Pakistan who may benefit from the above facilities then please ask them to contact us, or even if you do not know someone yourself, please forwarded this message to your friends and family members, as they may know someone. So rather than merely wishing someone a happy new year, let us make someone happy on new year and get reward for hereafter as well. May Allah accept everybody efforts. Ameen
