A Pen Instead of Labor – Husnain’s Journey of Hope who is a sweet and innocent child who faced immense hardships. His mother is suffering from HIV, and he was burdened with responsibilities no child should bear. Those tiny hands that once struggled for survival are now holding a pen instead of labor tools.

Who Was Iqbal Masih? —How did he spark a revolution in the world of child labor?
When we hear the name Iqbal, many of us think of a poet.
But today, we speak of another Iqbal — a child whose fight lit up the world.

A voice for justice!
We are honored to have Mr. Jawad, Founder of Alpha Foundation, with us at the event in the memory of Iqbal Masih at Adabi Baithak, Alhamra Hall, Lahore Arts Council.
Poetry with Purpose – A Voice for Empathy and Humanity
Shehzad Tanveer Sufi, Deputy Registrar at NCA, graced the event with his poem “Shauoor-e-Dard.” His words didn’t just rhyme — they resonated.
