International thalassaemia day 2008
« on: May 08, 2008, 02:49:28 PM »
Dear friends,
Today is the international day for thals and I would just like to take this opportunity to extend best wishes to all my brothers and sisters here on this website. I have been able to find people who understand and share common problems and I am very grateful as I know that i am not alone in this fight.

I would also like to give thanks to everyone for our connection.

Happy International Thalassemia Day to All!



A special thank you to Dr Asim, Marie, Noora and Amru for the lovely gift. I wish I could be celebrating again with your countrymen in the Maldives this year. Your gift brought a tear to my eyes.  :grouphug  I miss everyone so much.

Sometimes , God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes , He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes , He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes , He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes , He sends us illness so we can take better care of our selves.
Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

On this thalassemia day,i just wish that our govts start seeing where their attention and funding is needed,which is definitely not getting weapons and waging wars against each others.

Yes, Zaini :agree !

Yesterday I had surfed through all channels to see a glimpse of the PIMS convention being covered on the T.V. It looked like all the media of Pakistan was there to cover; but I was really disappointed when I had to turn off the t.v as the only highlight news of yesterday on every channel was the news of destruction of humanity rather than the prosperity; it was the announcement of the new cruise missile that Pakistan developed; no Thal. Day report, not even a 20 sec slot; just a news ticker that passed within few seconds for a minute or so. What did all those shutterbugs did there?!?! What happened to the recording of every channel camera that was there?!??! :mad

Hi Umair,
If you saw the Health/Info. Minister Ms. Sherry Rehman on it then that was PIMS otherwise not.
