Cadet College Larkana arranged a special international trip to Turkey for a group of students as a reward for their academic excellence and extracurricular achievements. Among these students were five exceptional children from Pakistan Sweet Home Sukkur, affectionately referred to as our "Angels."
Selection and Sponsorship
PSH Sukkur is our only campus with students enrolled in the IBA System. It serves as a haven for 101 children from various regions, such as Kashmore, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Larkana, Sukkur, Ghotki, Khairpur, and Naushehro Feroz. Due to limited resources, we currently have only one cadet college, which is located in Sohawa, Punjab. As a result, we sent our students of Sukkur Center to private institutions for their education.
Cadet College Larkana planned an international trip, selecting students based on their academic performance and active participation in various curricular activities. We are proud to share that, among the selected students, five of Sweet Home’s angels were included. The one-week trip was self-financed by the students, as this private college caters to students from privileged backgrounds who can afford such recreation.
When Sweet Home management and Zamurrad Khan (Hilal-e-Imtiaz) learned of this opportunity, there was no hesitation in wanting our children to join. At Sweet Home, we are committed to meeting every need of the children in our care. Therefore, Pakistan Sweet Home sponsored the entire trip to Turkey for these five children, sending a message to the world that our children are just as competitive and precious as any other.
This generous gesture covered all expenses, including tickets, accommodations, and other costs, ensuring that these young hearts could embark on this adventure without any financial burden.
“Life is challenging for children without having parental support, but we are working diligently to accommodate orphans across Sindh and provide them with a meaningful future. Enrolling in PSH, being selected for Cadet College, and earning a spot on an international trip are incredible opportunities for these angels, and I am as proud of them as a father would be. Our goal is to support and fulfill the dreams of all the children living under our care."
- Shabir Memon, Director PSH Sukkur Center

Day 4: Leisure and Hospitality
The trip also included leisure activities and delicious meals. The Sweet Angels dined at the luxurious TRYP Hotel in Istanbul and enjoyed outings at:

When our angels returned home, they carried with them memories of a lifetime. These memories were a testament to the power of generosity and the impact of providing opportunities to those in need. The trip was a beacon of hope, showcasing that with support and encouragement, every child can dream big and achieve great heights.
Since 2009, Pakistan Sweet Home has redefined the approach to raising orphans. We equip our children with high-quality education, skills, and character so they can live with dignity and compete with anyone in the world.
In essence, the trip to Turkey was more than just a journey; it brought happiness, learning, and inspiration to the Angels of Pakistan Sweet Home. It highlighted the importance of supporting and nurturing young minds, allowing them to explore and appreciate the world beyond their immediate surroundings.
