Dr. Raoof was also pleased to find that the Aabroo Welfare High School for Girls was flourishing as evidenced by a larger campus. Previously supplied computer equipment has been moved to the Boys School on another site and we hope to donate books to the school’s growing library.

The Aziz Jahan Begum Trust for the Blind delivers first class education to the blind. It is a unique and impressive charitable institution to which SEHT contributed Rs 1.6 million for the development of a Kid’s Complex.  Dr. Raoof attended the site and was happy to see that construction was progressing well and at the time  completion was expected  within 2 months. We hope to be able to help with equipping some of the facilities in due course.

The Al Ehsan Welfare Eye Hospital based in Lahore provides free expert eye examinations and specialised treatments. It also provides general outpatient checks, diabetic care and free medicine where needed. Visits there revealed an impressive hospital with a high level of cleanliness and experienced doctors. In order to continue much valued patient care, they require specialist ophthalmic equipment and Dr. Raoof was able to source the provision of a new slit lamp for them.

Dr. Raoof took the opportunity to also meet with Oncolink, pharmaceutical suppliers of anti-cancer medication. He also visited the Lahore office of Strongman, a hospital furniture manufacturer. Building working relationships with those able to assist us in our endeavour to supply quality resources in health and education is vitally important. For this reason, Dr. Raoof also made contact with the Decent Welfare Society, a healthcare organisation which amongst other projects runs a Cleft Centre for the treatment of individuals affected by cleft palate. Arrangements are in the pipeline but we hope this will go on to be a relationship of benefit to both organisation’s charitable aims.
