UAE to work together with Pakistan for welfare of orphan children
Speaking at the ceremony, the Ambassador said, “I was not aware of the great work of sponsoring thousands of orphans in Pakistan on such a large scale.”
“I am pleased and impressed by meeting these children, and their passion, courage, and confidence won my heart,” he said.
What can be a more outstanding work in the world than that you support orphan children and make them stand on their own feet by giving them the best education and training, he remarked.
As far as possible, we will work together with Pakistan for the betterment of these children, he added.
