The Disease of Tuberculosis is curable and for the best result one has to take the medicine for 8 months and he has to be punctual in doing so without any delay.

Mr. Nadeem Samuel added that the man who is suffering of this disease should make the proper use of handkerchief while coughing, sneezing and spitting; as it can be effective in the open environment and can become the cause of annoyance in the lives of others.
At the end of the function juices were distributed amongst the students, by Madam Rosy Dewan and Imran Mazher. The Madam Principal, Mrs. Khalida Qasim thanked both organizations for providing the younger generation with knowledge and for inculcating in their minds the awareness due to which they can lead a happy and healthy life in the society.
Mr. Ferhan Mazher thanked Mrs. Khalida Qasim for providing them with a chance to interrelate with the students directly and provide them with the awareness of the bitter realities (diseases) of life, but when faced with courage and determination, then they become no less then the rotting buildings which can fall at anytime.
