Something very close to my heart ! NOT SPONSORED ! NOT POLITICAL ! I AM A FRIEND OF NAMAL !

I still remember the time when I was very young and one day
I saw my elder brother and sister carrying some tickets and trying got sold
them out. My parents gave them all their support and decided to participate. The
memory is still so fresh that how my family , our friends and even the small
ones were trying to sell those tickets and trying to collect money .. money for
a dream that seems to be impossible at that time .. a dream to build Shauakat
Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital .
My parents were huge supporters of PPP at that time … but
they still participated.. tried their best to collect the maximum donations … coz it was for Pakistan our beloved country …
Many years past by … I still support that hospital along
with my parents in every way possible .. I am an eye witness to the donations
spent on the needy persons .. that’s a whole new story and I will talk about
that one day as well ..
A person very close to me told me that a bunch of very bright Formanites ( Students of F.C
College Lahore) trying to get their admission in Namal University for their
B.Sc .. Namal ? why ? Is it Good ? is it
difficult to get admission over there ?
these were all the question I bombard them with .
To my great surprise the answer were all of those questions
were YES . Namal admission criteria is very tough . As they give admission on
the basis of Merit only regardless of any financial status of their students. If
you get the admission and are not able
to pay your fees … Namal helps you with scholarship upto 100% totally based on
your condition . Not only education , but the hostel and food facilities are
free for the deserving candidates . Means equal treatment for everybody .
Either you are paying the full dues or on 100% scholarship you might share the
same room and definitely sharing the same food along with your teachers in the
mess . This EQUALITY captured my heart
.. how is that even possible ? And the answer to that restored my faith in Humanity
… with the donations of people , called as Friend of Namal .

Agriculture may not seem like the ideal fit for someone with
an electrical engineering background but Abu Bakar begs to differ. "Agriculture
is our biggest industry and today it has to be managed in an increasingly
mechanical way. There must be engineering intervention to maximize
yields." Abu Bakar's business is a prime example of harnessing engineering
ideas to boost agriculture production. He operates a tunnel farm for growing
off-season crops. " In my hometown of Bahwalnager my family possesses
plenty of land. After my graduation, I requested my father to grant me portion
of the land for developing my own farm using plastic tunnel technology. This
enables me to grow crops in a controlled environment. So far I have been able
to grow wheat and rice." We asked Abu Bakar about which course was
especially useful in helping him set-up his farm. His response was Project
Management. "After my time at Namal University, I have developed the habit
of working hard and that really helped in setting up my farm". Abu Bakar
is very excited about Namal’s Agribusiness School. "If you need any of my
services please do contact me". Abu Bakar (BSc Electrical Engineering,
Graduate 2015)

I am the first girl of Namal College to be selected as
principal candidate of Global Ugrad Exchange Program. Behind my success is a
story of many struggles. I grew up in a society which had social and cultural
restrictions to female education. The time when most fathers accompanied their
daughter to school, I lost mine in a car accident. Despite having limited
resources, I never stopped dreaming; in fact I developed a never ending courage
to follow my dreams no matter what comes through. I faced many challenges on my
way to university. Managing the cultural pressure on girl’s education and
solving the financial problems due to hefty education fee drained me emotionally.
That was the time when Imran Khan’s vision became my strength. I not only got
admission in Namal College but also secured a scholarship. Now I am a student
of computer science at Namal College Mianwali. I hope for a great future ahead.

The problem these days is if you try to spread some good message people normally assume that one must be getting something out of it . Not everything is worldly . At least not in my case .
I am sharing my receipt and acknowledgement letter from Namal University for being their memeber ( the minimum package of becoming a member or Friend of Namal is JUST PAK RS.5000 annually . imagine giving the price that is as minimal as your one lawn suit or your Mac lipstick as sadiqa jariyah . Also you can give them your Zakat or simply some donations .( can you give some of your Eidi ? )
If you have any query or question or even if you are confused , you can send me message anytime on my Instagram or on my Facebook page .
The purpose of this post is just to share something close to my heart . I really want equal education opportunities for everybody in this Country .. for every single kid regardless of their backgrounds , religion , their status or anything... If I can help in achieving that by any mean I will do that iN SHA ALLAH .
I am also going to talk about it on my Instastory and will save it for you guys to watch later .
Hope you like my efforts .
Happy Ramadan and Happy Giving
This Ramazan , lets GIVE More rather then Buy More ....
