The Legacy Luncheon provided a great platform to interact with the crème de la crème of Pakistan. We’re sure more than a few innovative ideas were shared at the gathering and we hope to see them come to fruition soon!

Each of these women not only exhibited innovative, ethnic items at the German consulate, but they also undertook the responsibility to educated underprivileged girls as part of the Foundation’s “Educate a Girl” initiative.
Areesha Khan harbours a burning passion for writing. This is what she has to say for herself:
I’m your average Pakistani Millennial who loves binge watching trash-TV. When I can, I try to widen my horizons and watch profound works of cinematography as well. In the wild, I can be found sniffing my weathered paperbacks. I regularly obsess over true crime (much to the chagrin of my friends) and love discussing it unprompted. I’m currently working on my undergrad and would love to have a profession in print media.
