“I am so grateful for to Indus and the organizers for this event; it really helps in building confidence in the children. My Minahil has been undergoing treatment for her legs for the past two years.

They have so much fun and forget about their healthcare issues.”

I believe that is very necessary that brands contribute back to society, especially brands that are strongly affiliated with children. We received a very good opportunity at Indus Hospital to celebrate the children and provide these young ones, who are already going through a very difficult time with their health issues, with an opportunity to just have fun.”
