SINTHOS MESSAGE FROM Mr. Saeed Allawala Managing Director Atco Laboratories Limited I feel privileged to have been associated with CHILDREN HEALTH AND EDUCATION FOUNDATION (CHAEF) since its inception. Although looking to its age CHAEF is still in its infancy, it has already been making great strides. Its activities in its chosen fields of primary and vocational education and healthcare for the poor are growing both in terms of range of facilities and the number of beneficiaries. It is heartening to note that in a very short span of time, the organization has forged its way forward to the West and North of Pakistan by establishing its regional office in Lahore with the objective of extending its services not only to the poor and underprivileged segments of Punjab but also to the similar sections of society in NWFP. Progressing at this pace, hopefully, the day is not far off when CHAEF will have its network of schools and healthcare centers cutting across the whole length and breadth of Pakistan. I must say the achievements of the organization so far have been impressive both quantitatively and qualitatively. I hope, CHAEF will continue to persevere in its avowed objectives and play its role in lessening the ignorance and alleviation of sickness in the dark lanes of poverty in Pakistan.
