We try to undo the effects of the bitter ones by either forgetting them or by extending a helping hand to the ones who are suffering. Its only then that we know how many other hands are there to join in for the cause, its only then that we realize how many more hands are needed. or my recordings, I have to go to many strange places. One of them was in the desert. I was there with my team to shoot the video for “La Ilaha Illallah”. It was an honor for me to sing the poetry of Iqbal, poetry that talks about the sovereignty of Almighty Allah. During the filming of the video, I learned things about Thar. The most painful for me was the vulnerability of Thar’s children to poverty, malnutrition and poor health. I saw innocent and beautiful children drinking contaminated water from a well where birds and animals were lying dead. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I couldn’t take this image out of my mind. I wanted to help them. Children are the most beautiful part of all societies. They are the builders of a nation’s future. Their positive energies and combined strength promise future growth, stability and progress in a country. Ignoring children is ignoring our future.

Bank gives Donation in very big amount and Support all the events indirectly. Because of the Only Government bank with wide range of network bank operate the pension to the all retired government employees. This is the good thing. Basically National bank of Pakistan wants to awareness of Social responsibility in the society and also wants a wealthy nation. That is why we call it “THE NATIONS BANK”. The Sport facility provided bank to the society is very pro-active, and NBP sponsor small and big events of the sports. Since the creation NBP organize more 10,000 matches of the cricket in the Domestic or International bases. And Still NBP sponsor the Football Premier league in the domestic soccer.
