MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Sometimes back, prior to the formation of the Lotus, I had an opportunity to visit the desert areas of Tharparker in Sindh. The trip proved to be highly rewarding in that I was introduced to a distinct style of living with life ceaselessly being in a state of conflict with the hostile forces of nature amusing phenomena to watch from the sideline.
The romantic sentiments subsided, however, as soon as I became exposed to the harsh realities and the divers, killing forms of abject poverty the people of Tharparker were doomed to fight, seemingly forever.

The degradation of humanity and helpless state of affairs that I observed with sadness, changed the whole of my perception about life and a sense of guilt kept me surrounding until I dicovered the might of social work as the only way of some consolation.Instead of joining to any existing NGO's most of whom have already been doing a remarkably good job in their own areas of special concerns, I decided to form one of my own organization to implement a comparatively different approach toward the problems confronting our society.

I have full confidence, that with the cooperation of my colleagues, well-wishers ad supporters, in the country as well as other parts of the world, to whom we are affiliate with, we will be able to register our meager contribution to a noble cause wish the proponents of the movement of social work in the country as well as in the world, a year of promising successes and fulfilling.
