In electing me as the President of Group of Sixties, I feel
deeply honoured and thank all members of the Group of Sixties for
having placed their confidence in me. I must thank the Founder
President Mr Samsudeen Macan Markar and the Immediate Past President
Hon. Justice Saleem Marsoof for having lead the Group of Sixties to
be in a strong position and being able to carry out numerous projects
for the benefit and development of Zahira.
I request the cooperation of all members of the Group of
Sixties to carry on the task and also request the old boys of the
Sixties to become members and join us to bring Zahira back to its
former glory.
We as a group are
committed for working for the betterment, progress and advancement of
Zahira. In particular one of our objectives is to assist the college
on education and certain sports when such requests for assistance are
made. Our members work together on various projects mainly with the
intention of raising funds so that we can in turn help the college.
Once such support is given we expect the college to use all its
administrative, managerial and technical skills for the common
objective of progress and development of Zahira. We give an assurance
that we will in no way interfere with the affairs of the College.
The recently
concluded Rugby Sevens was a tremendous image booster for Zahira.
Likewise, the Gala Dinner recognizing the past Rugby National Players
of Zahira, the musical show “Down Memory Lane”, 40 seater bus, Inter
House Rugby and Cricket tournaments are other events that have helped
the College in reviving certain sports which were in a dormant state.
In the field of
education we are actively involved in providing scholarships for the
deserving A Level students. Last year we were successful in getting
donors for 24 scholarships. This year too we hope to get the same
number. In addition to this, the group assisted the College in GCE OL
and AL seminars and for the future we have an intention of assisting
the college in conducting revision classes by special tutors.
We have no doubt that
all these efforts will bear fruit in the short and long term. I am
told that as a result of a general improvement in the image of Zahira,
there is a severe demand seeking new admissions to the College. This
is one measure of the success of all the efforts of various groups and
the College staff in working for the common objective of advancement
of Zahira.
Gentlemen, let us
work even harder to reach a higher level.
THANK YOU
