Thank you so much Nimra and Sarah for organizing everything so well and making it a huge success!

So we invited a lot of people all over Lahore, and about 100 showed up, 20% of which were youth,which is a satisfactory start for now, but much more needs to be done to create awareness in the youth. The media was also there to carry the message forward to those of you that missed it.

Panel Discussion for Environment
 

We screened the documentary 11th Hour and invited top panelists to discuss Environment in Pakistan.

Those invited include: Dr. Mehjabeen Abib-Habib, leading environmentalist scholar, Mr. Ali Habib, Director General of WWF Pakistan, and Mr. Asif Farooqui of Waste Busters. 

The discussion was focused on what the state of Environmentalism in Pakistan was, and what our individual efforts can do to improve the situation we face in Pakistan.

I would also like to thank SAFMA for all their help in making this event such a success. I will be following their work around South Asia everywhere I go.
