volunteer force PTCL Razakaar hosted community Iftaars nationwide, whereby spreads were laid out for people at mosques,

Hospital in Peshawar, DHQ and Lady Hospital in DI Khan, Civil Hospital
Gujranwala, DHQ Hospital Khanewal, Nishtar Hospital Multan and the Civil
Hospital Larkana. Community members of Rawalpindi and Islamabad were reached
out through distribution of lunchboxes by our mobile vans. Razakaars made the
effort to personally reach out to the most deserving persons hence living up to
the true spirit of the month and the RamzanMehman Drive.
The largest Iftaar meal was laid out at the
Faisal Mosque in Islamabad where 1000 visitors were treated and served by the
company’s volunteers. Iftaars were also hosted at the Jamia Masjid Larkana,
Gujrat and Abbottabad. This is the second year of the PTCL Razakaar program. Approximately

service initiatives each quarter.
