prepared in order to provide TCF students with an ideal representative from the professional world. The internship program was carefully designed with regular reports and questionnaires to follow the student progress and the feedback from the mentors. The Placement Desk, besides assisting students in gaining financial support for higher education, also aims at presenting options for the future to TCF graduates. A representative from the Placement Desk adds, “It was an extremely heartening experience observing the enthusiasm, with which the parents allowed their children, and especially their daughters, to enroll for the amazing opportunity.” It is the mission of TCF to provide its students with the opportunity for an improved quality of life and Placement Desk is working hard towards maintaining this focus.

strata of our society. Renowned physician, Dr. Fauzia Baig conducted the ‘First Aid’ workshop. The program was held at TCF Secondary School - Bhitaiabad Campus and 30 students participated.
Dr. Fauzia had a very interactive approach as she physically demonstrated the different tactics of providing First Aid. Young TCF students were more than willing to be volunteers for the physical demonstrations. They were full of questions and stories to share with the pleasant Dr. Baig. Her discussions included important issues such as Wounds, Bruises, Burns, Choking, Bleeding, Proper use of a thermometer, Cuts and Scrapes.
Executive Director of NJFK, Mrs. Afshan Ilahi distributed First Aid boxes – courtesy Efroze Pharmaceutical Company to the 30 participants, the school principal and TCF Team members.
