III. Details of Activities
During the period under reporting we have successfully executed some of the following activities in our targeted thematic and geographical areas in Pakistan.
1. Inspection of Sindh Government Hospitals with Chief Secretary Sindh
On the invitation of Mr. Sajjad Saleem Hottiyana-the Chief Secretary (CS) to the Government of Sindh, two HGISF Cabinet members and nine volunteers from its federating units visited Chief Secretary Office on 8th June, 2014 in Karachi and discussed areas of mutual interest.

Later on the team in the leadership of Mr. Fida Karim-the then Acting Chairman and current Senior Vice Chairman of HGISF accompanied Chief Secretary to inspect Liyari General Hospital and Civil Hospital in Karachi. The objective of the said visit was to facilitating Chief Secretary in assessing current situation of patient care and service delivery in these hospitals and distribute cash and food items among patients; thus try to mitigate the sufferings arising out of illness and chronic disease besides promoting culture of voluntary service at Sindh Government Institutions level in Sindh Province of Pakistan. This was carries out in the backdrop of our suggestion in one of our earlier meeting with CS to foster the spirit of voluntary service to improve service delivery at government institutions level in Sindh province Pakistan.
Initially our team in the leadership of Chief Secretary visited Liyari General Hospital in the volatile Liyari Town and inspected different wards of the said hospital. The team inquired after health of admitted patients and quality of service delivery. Cash, water and food items were distributed among needy patients.
The situation of wards and toilets were highly apathetic and smelly. Drinking water was not available in scorching heat. The bed sheets were so filthy that nobody could sit on them except poor patients. Therefore, Chief Secretary directed concerned official to change filthy bed sheets on the spot and same was ensured with the help of volunteers. Chief Secretary himself along with volunteer’s spread out bed sheets and washed toilets and directed the concerned official to ensure high quality of service delivery to the poor and vulnerable communities of Liyari. A couple of volunteers with full support of

Chief Secretary Office was assigned the task of follow-up to ensure proper patient care and service delivery in the stated hospital. One of the objective of visiting Liyari General Hospital in volatile Liyari town was also to boost-up the confidence level and morale of local communities who are suffering due to notorious Liyari-gand-war and skirmishes among non-state actors in Liyari.
Than the team visited Civil Hospital Karachi-the 1900-bed tertiary care and the largest teaching hospital of Pakistan. Here the team inspected different wards, inquired after health of patients, quality and nature of service delivery to patients and their attendants.
Though the hospital was overcrowded and toilets were not properly maintained but poor patients who were interviewed for their feedback were seems satisfied with service delivery as they were stated to be receiving proper care and medication. Food packets and cash were distributed among needy patients in two wards each comprising fifty patients. Chief Secretary appreciated team HGISF and requested them to visit these and other hospitals in Karachi, adopt at least one patient till his/her discharge and directly report to him and make accountable if something in doing wrong in these hospitals to ensure quality of patient care and service delivery in Sindh Government hospitals in Karachi. He further stated to team leader of HGISF in front of top authorities of Civil Hospital that “being an active civil society organization you can shout on them if you found them not working properly and directly report to me to address the same”
At the end of inspection Chief Secretary thanked HGISF and reiterated his commitment to support HGISF to achieve our shared goals for community development in the days ahead. Team HGISF also reciprocated with the same sentiments and assured the good office of Chief Secretary to work together to promote our shared goals and objectives in all targeted areas of Pakistan.
It is befitting to note it here that this visit was in commensurate with new policy of HGISF wherein it is working on creating sound forward linkages with relevant government and non-government organizations throughout Pakistan.

4. Meeting with all GBC level Federations in Karachi:
In the backdrop of police atrocities and highhandedness of President Ismaili Regional Council for Gilgit, Hunza Gilgit Ismaili Students Federation (HGISF) called an urgent meeting of all Karachi based Ismaili organizations from Gilgit Baltistan (GB) on June 8th, 2014 in Aga Khan Gymkhana Karachi. A large number of young leaders, social activist and office bearers of different student organizations and senior leadership of social welfare organizations from all parts of Hunza, Gilgit and Gizer districts participated in the stated meeting.

They reiterated their full support to Jamati leadership and warned all concerned actors to refrain from harassing our leaderships. Otherwise, Jamati members and youth will be compelled to take matters into their hands and take punitive actions against such people. The same day the said incident was settled down with the prompt intervention of GB government after tendering unconditional apologies from perpetrators it was unanimously decided to give the law to take its own turn and call off their protest demonstration against assault on Col (r) Ubaidullah Baig, President of the Ismailia Regional Council for Gilgit. Nevertheless, each member showed strong resentment against this incident and call upon GB Government and relevant institutions to resolve the bone of contention once for all. It was discussed and agreed upon that all federations will forward nominations of two to three persons per federation from all participating organizations to HGISF to form a joint committee of GB level grassroots Ismaili institutions based here in Karachi. So that they could jointly work in close coordination to protect and promote their shared goals in Karachi and throughout Pakistan including Gilgit-Baltistan. The said committee will also coordinate with respective Councils and AKDN institutions to provide required human resource or any other kind of assistance and support besides forwarding member youths related issues to national level leaderships and resolve the same for the betterment of Jamat.

During the meeting it was appreciated that federation has representation

from all regions of Hunza and Gilgit. Nevertheless, it was requested by GISAK to formalize representation from upper Hunza through GISAK as their new Cabinet has just taken responsibilities from this month and same was assured by HGISF to achieve their shared goals in the years ahead. In this regard, it was discussed and agreed upon that HGISF will send a formal letter to channelize nomination of existing two members from upper Hunza and same will be endorsed by GISAK within a week.

Similarly, during this quarter Namdar council for Karachi and Baluchistan issued nominations of HGISF office bearers for the year 2014-2015.
IV. Constraints and way-forward
During the period under reporting HGISF had to face some of the following issues and constraints to execute their services to its federating member organizations and general members.

 Unavailability of proper venue to arrange meetings or to execute capacity development and awareness programs to our youth. Due to which we have to cancel or repeatedly postponed our programmes. During the period under review we had to cancel or repeatedly reschedule a couple of training and awareness sessions in Karachi. These include “training session on project proposal writing and resource mobilization” which had to be conducted by a renowned international development professional having several decades experience in UN and other international development and humanitarian agencies throughout Asia and another one was “awareness session on rising trend of suicides in our youth”. On the other hand, during this quarter seven member of our federation committed suicides due to different youth-centric issues but we are not receiving required support from concerned Jamati institutions on time. HGISF had already brought this matter into kind information and knowledge of National and Regional Council and proposed to support us to direct concerned institutions to carry out a research study to find out root causes regarding rising trend of suicide cases in our youth and take informed decisions on the basis of these findings besides launching awareness- cum-root cause-addressing projects and programs on the war footing but all is vain so far.
Similarly, a renowned foundation has offered us to carry out different sessions on 15 different youth- centric topics for our youth. But we have venue problem as we are 100% dependent on Council for venue and Namdar Regional Council for Karachi and Baluchistan have already wrote to us that it has to cater more than 50 institutions. So it has its own constraints. Any assistance from National Council or any AKDN institutions will highly be appreciated in this regard.
 HGISF’s unclear terms of engagement with Regional Council which further create difficulties in quick delivery of quality service to our federating units and general members.
 Financial constraints. Unavailability of any financial resource base except voluntary contributions of HGISF office bearers and Advisors negatively affects our projects and service delivery. Although we have arranged 78% amount of our scholarship programme but we still needed support for 22% of this project (approx.: PKRS 200,000) to lead this project into its logical end. Financial support from any of our member or institution will highly be appreciated in this regard.
 For being highly educated, sensitized and equally aware about clear directions of MHI regarding mandate of each Jamati and AKDN institutions toward our Jamat-the ultimate beneficiaries- our members are expecting delivery of high quality and prompt service delivery from us all. But due to aforementioned reasons (financial constraints & delay-daily tactics of Regional Council) HGISF have to face challenges in coming up to the expectations of our members in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan. Lack of direct coordination with top authorities of AKDN institutions further makes the matter worst.
 It is high time to devise a proper mechanism to channelize issues, demands and needs identifies at our community level through HGISF and its grassroots level federations and communicate the same with concerned AKDN and Jamati Institutions in Pakistan. So that concerned institutions could design their programmes and annual work plans accordingly to accommodate the needs identified by HGISG and its federating units at grassroots level in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan.
 HGISF and its federating units have a lot of proposals and ideas but facing resource constraints to implement the same and AKDN institutions have financial resources but needed to take input of grassroots institutions like HGISF to address the pressing needs and demands of our Jamat as par priorities of our members-the- ultimate reason behind establishing institutions by our beloved MHI-in Karachi and other parts of Pakistan including Hunza Gilgit region.
