Nothing feels better than knowing you can take care of yourself mentally, financially, and physically. However for a lot of people, the physical part is just exercise. Being able to protect yourself in all situations is a confidence booster as much as it is a reassurance. This reassurance can be gained through any form of self-defence classes.
Recently, the 27th Ladiesfund Power Lunch was hosted by DIG Police Maqsood Ahmed TI, PSP, at the national SSU headquarters, Karachi. He invited a delegation of Ladiesfund members, donors and Educate a Girl scholarship girls to be his guests to tour the facility, learn self defence, learn firearm safety and shooting and have a delicious lunch. Each delegate was also certified by SSU. Spotted at the event were Honorary Consular General of Monaco Charmaine Hidayutullah, Nazli Abid, Moneeza Butt, Nusrat Hidayutullah, Yasmin Dadabhoy, Halima Rauf, Wajiha Abid, and Jaweria Ali, among others.
The format of this popular lunch enables all guests to not only meet and interact with the Chief Guest, but have access to each other, with all SOPs in place. The SSU generously gifted each delegate and official police COVID-19 mask. Powerful alliances, business collaborations have been formed from this high in demand networking series. The foundation encourages each attendee to set a meeting with at least 3 other attendees within one week of the gathering to solidify their connection and to work towards collaboration.
Tara Uzra Dawood, Ladiesfund President expressed, “We are humbled to have been invited by DIG Police Maqsood Ahmed to SSU national headquarters to experience a day full of confidence-building, self-defence training as well as interaction with key members of SSU including 200 female commandos.”
