An extract from Business Recorder article “TV THOUGHTS” by NUSRAT NASARULLAH

I am sure that our TV channels would do well were they to highlight the growing number of citizens who are unable to feed themselves on a regular basis. This thought came to mind when I saw a short film report on an organisation (presumably) called “Khana Ghar” which exists in Karachi and where the poor man is able to get a meal, wholesome and stomach full, for Rs 3 per person. Of course there are now organisations like Edhi and Sailani Trust that are feeding the poor on a walk-in basis.

It was in a programme called “Wah Wah Pakistan” in the Nadia Khan show where an enterprising kind lady Parveen Saeed with her husband Khalid Saeed supporting her, was explaining the motivation behind the venture. The good work being done in this society presents a sharp welcome contrast to the chaos, conflict and near collapse that are on at the same time.
