August usually arrives with a sense of enthusiasm and nationalism. Elders may be seen telling tales about the division as kids place little flags throughout the house and on the street.
For many thalassemic children, however, Independence Day is just another day. They cannot commemorate the event with the same fervor and excitement because the majority of them come from disadvantaged communities.
Help The International Welfare Trust ensures that our thal stars (children with thalassemia) observe Pakistan’s Independence Day like everyone else. The day is jam-packed with enjoyable celebrations and historical information. The kids participate in talks and cultural acts while also picking up knowledge from the plays.
The involvement of our youth in social welfare initiatives brings us great joy. The only people who raised money for this event were the students from several institutions in Karachi.
Team HIWT and HVP are prepared for the biggest event of the year to commemorate Pakistan’s Independence with our thal stars after a two-year hiatus caused by Covid-19.

As a result, mass screening is neither a practicable nor a cost-effective technique for a nation like Pakistan.
