Trustee’s Message

TRUSTEE’S MESSAGE:

In the name of ALLAH
Dear Brothers and Sisters
Assalam-o-Alaikum

By the grace of the Almighty, the Youth Forum family has been accomplishing its due role in nourishment of intellectual and physical fitness needs of the youth. Starting from sports, fitness, religious gatherings to educational coaching, GIYF also joined the veterans by organizing Manqabat competitions, Career Guidance seminars as well as events to provide the youth an opportunity to rub their shoulders with society’s legends in “Bethak”. All this has become possible due to the continued support of our well wisher that will insha Allah keep increasing with the passage of time.

One genuine expansion of GIYF domain was the provision of Women Wing which is successfully operating from 9 to 12 noon & 4 to 7 pm. daily at its separate venue situated at GIWW, PLOT NO. 143, RAHEEN AVENUE, G-1, SOLDIER BAZAR NO.2, KARACHI.

In accordance with one of the objectives of establishing the Forum, physical fitness and activities remain the most focused area. Sports play a vital role in the youth’s psychological, mental and physical growth. The platform provided by GIYF

induces patience, discipline and teamwork when the youth participate in healthy sports activities organized daily, weekly and on annual basis in the form of Sports Festival.

I sincerely hope the endeavors that the youngsters are putting for this cause would be fruitful and encouraging for them and they would receive admiration from one and all and blessings from the Almighty.

May Allah guide our journey towards success, Ameen!
