Lawn for a cause: Rosy Patel, S&S exhibition raise charity for TCF
TCF Islamabad organised the lawn exhibition for Karachi based designer Rosy Patel and S&S Textiles, inviting a selected group of women at the hi-tea event. They were later treated to music from Club Caramel.
Women were spotted skimming through the catalogues and picking up pieces which they took a fancy to.
A number of women wore S&S lawn to the event, modeling to raise charity. They included Fariba Thomson, wife of the British High Commissioner, who said she had designed her suit herself. To give it a different look, Thomson had stitched printed Capri pants with a plain red sleeveless shirt.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, Thomson said that she loved Pakistani fabric. She added that such events were great mostly because the charity was supporting education – one of the most important issues faced by Pakistan today.
Among other models were Turkish ambassador’s teenage daughters Alkim and Sidal Hizlan, who wore stitched sleeveless shirts with straight pants.
Hi-tea was arranged in the lawn and round tables were setup around the fountain for the guests to sit.
Musicians Kiran Chaudary and Adnan Sarwar from Club Caramel performed request songs live – some of which included Nazia Hassan hits such as Boom Boom to latest tracks such as Rollin in the deep by Adele.
Women who work for the charity and others who support the cause also came to the exhibition.
TCF provides education in urban slums and rural areas, funded entirely through donations and fund-raising events such as the lawn exhibition on Friday. They have 830 schools in more than 93 locations, which provide education to over 115,000 children, of which almost half are girls.

To reply to Syra's unnecessarily cynical comment, the article mentions that TCF has "They have 830 schools in more than 93 locations, which provide education to over 115,000 children, of which almost half are girls." As everyone in Pakistan knows that TCF does not get donor funding and is funded entirely by donations and the money raised from charity events such as this, obviously they are making a decent amount at these events to enable them to run so many good quality schools. It's sad to see such negative comments in relation to people who are trying to do a good thing! No wonder our country cannot progress.
There's no business, like the NGO business in Pakistan!
would they like to mention, how much actual amount was raised by these posh kitties ? and how much percentage of profit went to 'Charity' , after paying the bills of High-Tea ?
