The session featured insightful talks by our faculty members, Ms Noreena Younas and Ms Aqsa, who highlighted the significance of the International Day of Happiness and how the spirit of gratitude during Ramadan enhances one's positive nature, fostering a greater sense of well-being and a desire to work for the benefit of others.
Under the supervision of Madam Amna Alam, Deputy Director of Social Welfare, and Madam Rabia Khalid, Incharge of Old Age Home Shelter, the awareness session was also conducted on the importance of happiness and gratitude, emphasizing how mindfulness can enhance well-being, calm the mind, and reduce stress. The session encouraged everyone to embrace happiness as a universal human right and prioritize personal well-being. A gift distribution activity followed, promoting emotional connection and a sense of community between the residents and the gift-givers. The act of receiving gifts brought immense joy and happiness, further strengthening the bond among the participants. Additionally, a creative coloring activity was conducted, allowing the residents and students to engage in handcrafts that brought joy, relaxation, and stress relief.
