MCB Arif Habib Savings recently arranged an activity at the SOS Village Karachi to pay tribute to their ‘House Mothers’ and to spend quality time with the resident children. This, being a part of the Mother’s Day celebration, was a means to encourage employees to play their part into becoming socially responsible citizens and thus getting acquainted with life at the SOS Village.
The daylong session had a number of interactive activities planned that aimed at keeping children entertained while also paying tribute to the persevering housemothers who are assigned to run each household in the village. The fun-filled activities included the musical chair, face painting, magic show, and a singing competition to name a few.
“As part of our Mother’s Day celebration, we ensured that motherhood is celebrated and mothers are highlighted even beyond our own circle of life. This is why we saw the SOS Village – Karachi as a favourable destination for our initiative where we decided to bring the housemothers into the limelight for all that they are doing for these children, thereby giving them the love and care they rightly deserve,” said CEO, MCB Arif Habib Savings Mr Saqib Saleem. “Hence, having our employees witness this warmth and spend a day of their life with these families has not just left a lasting impact on them but has also encouraged them to play a meaningful role in these children’s lives.”
Staff members of MCBAH, who volunteered to be part of this activity, visited the different households and gained an in-depth perspective of life happening at each house where children study, play, grow plants and assist their mothers in their daily chores. They also spoke to these housemothers to gather insightful information and successful stories of motherhood, which is a norm at the SOS Village. They paid tributes alongside the children to these mothers through various other activities, also by awarding the Super Mom sash to mothers, followed by a cake cutting ceremony.
