Life Outside the Classroom: Pakistan Students Association
October 26th, 2010 by justine abigail
The Pakistan Students Federation is a platform whereby students with a common background and interest in Pakistani culture and heritage can meet and interact with each other. This year Pakistan made global headlines because of the devastating floods affecting about 20 million people in the country. PSF played its part by raising funds for the victims in collaboration with the Pakistan Development Fund (P.D.F.) and the South Asian Development Council (S.A.D.C), all of which are U of T student groups.
Together, approximately $14000 were raised (without the Canadian government matching them), a portion of which went UNICEF and the Red Cross.
PSF plans to add to the diversity at U of T by organizing events symbolizing the rich Pakistani Culture. Earlier this year PSF collaborated with Skule Cricket Club to successfully organize a cricket tournament. Our upcoming events include a Gig Night in November which would include performances by students on Pakistani Music which has continued to mesmerize audiences across the world with its unique sound. We welcome the entire U of T community to attend our events and learn more about Pakistan. Our future plans include organizing Political Talks, Biryaani sales, movie nights and much more
