FROM THE DESK
It is with immense pleasure to inform you that this is the 50th
issue of our e-newsletter that started with its first issue being
circulated on 17th
October as Perth was getting ready to host
CHOGM 2011.
Since then you have been receiving this newsletter without any
delay every second Monday (sometimes earlier). Individual
feedback has always been great with few reservations
sometime as to why we include news outside WA but on the
other hand we also receive news items from all part of
Australia. As the newsletter is available electronically as well as
it is circulated outside WA to a number of organisations at state
and national level, it is one of the best ways to disseminate
information as to the invaluable role that Pakistani migrants are
playing in Australia.
On a personal level thanks to you all and remember in yourprayers all the departed souls who met untimely death as a
result of devastating earthquake in Baluchistan last week and
again today as the earthquake strikes again.

COMMUNITY UPDATES

of Allah, PIA Inc. will be making its grand appearance at the Super Series through a huge signage atthe Hockey WA Stadium on 19

ZONTA CLUB INTERNATIONAL
We are in receipt of invitation for the dinner arranged by Zonta Club International on 10th
October.
Our group was invited last year to give a presentation at the Cultural Awareness Day.
THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF PERTH
The second invitation is to be a speaker at for The Theosophical Order of Service (T.O.S) to the general
membership of The Theosophical Society of Perth(T.S.). The T.O.S was formed in 1916 by the then
President of the T.S , Dr. Annie Besant, in order to enable members to give public service to various
benevolent and other entities, as the T.S. itself stood alone with its aims and was non-political. The
organisation endeavors to raise funds to support projects here in WA and abroad. At present they are
supporting an Aboriginal Women’s Refuge Centre; make packs for infants in Foster Care; supply
knitted knee rugs for Aged Care facilities; provide towels and rugs for the Dog and Cat Havens and
support a Pakistan Home School project for refugee Afghan women. This latter project is the main
aim as the members have pledged $1,200 this year to help keep it open.
