Eid Milan Party 2024About us
Happy Dale School, located in Nazimabad#4, Karachi, Pakistan, has a rich history. Founded in 1952 by Miss Amna Begum Mumtaz, it has been an integral part of many students' lives. However, its journey hasn't been without challenges.
During the government of Bhutto in 1972, the school was nationalized, which led to significant difficulties in management. But resilience prevailed. Mr. Anis Hamdani Zuberi and his colleagues stepped up to the plate. They negotiated with the provincial government to restore the school's previous status. Their efforts bore fruit, and they successfully adopted the school.
To formalize their commitment, they established a non-profit organization. Now, the management is being transferred to this dedicated group. It's heartwarming to see individuals come together to preserve the legacy of an educational institution that has touched the lives of so many.
Memories of Happy Dale School continue to resonate with those who walked its halls, from the golden era of school life to the challenges faced and overcome by passionate individuals like Mr. Anis Hamdani Zuberi and his team.
The founders' services are honored, and the Happy Dale School Alumni Foundation wishes them continued prosperity.
We are honored to introduce Asghar Naqvi, our President-elect and the outgoing General Secretary. A medical doctor by training, he has served as an MD in a multinational pharmaceutical company and has made significant contributions as a medical writer. Today, he dedicates his time to community philanthropy and education. It was the trust placed in him and his connections within the education sector that led to our school being entrusted to his care, even when HDSAF was merely a concept among the alumni of '71.
His reputation with the Sindh Education Department is such that they confidently handed over the reins of HDS to him. While there were others who assisted in managing our alma mater, it was his pivotal role in adopting our school that stands out. Bravo!
We are forever indebted to you, a sentiment echoed by our alumni who have reinstated you as President. Now, the responsibility falls on you and your team to fulfill the promises made and to exhibit magnanimity in victory by adopting an inclusive approach that embraces the entire alumni body. Our heartfelt congratulations on a job well done, and best wishes for your continued journey. May our Lord guide you. Ameen.
We celebrate Shabbir Lateef, a distinguished member of the '72 batch, known for his tireless work ethic and dedication to philanthropy. As a lawyer and our outgoing Finance Secretary, his efforts were crucial in establishing HDSAF as a registered charity, securing a bank account, and completing the foundational groundwork. His relentless commitment has set us on solid ground.
We extend our sincerest congratulations to Shabbir for his exemplary service. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and offer our heartfelt thanks. The new Management Committee will undoubtedly benefit from his continued support.
May God bless Shabbir and his team. Ameen.
