Pak women writers reminisce about three rewarding years in PWC-LC
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 01 - 2017

RIYADH — Every organization is formed to get the capability of its members recognized all over the world. Pakistan Writers Club (PWC) is one such organization, which is not only recognized in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but its talented members have made their mark in other parts of the world.
The PWC, which evolved almost 25 years ago, not only shares glorious memories but also has a feather in its cap by founding its Ladies Chapter (PWC-LC).
Faiz Al-Najdi, the then president of PWC, came up with the idea of a ladies chapter and laid foundations of PWC-LC on Nov. 15, 2013. There were seven founding mothers, namely Dr. Wardah (convener), Dr. Erum (deputy convener), Farah (finance secretary), Qundeel (PRO), and Asma Tariq, Ambreen Faiz and Shaheen Javed (members).
Ever since its founding, PWC-LC has served as a voice and platform for talented ladies of the Pakistani community in Riyadh. PWC-LC has come of age and has not looked back ever since.
The PWC-LC celebrated the 3rd anniversary of its founding recently. The members expressed their joy and here is what they have to say about their journey through PWC-LC.
Almas Mumtaz, a senior member and currently PRO of PWC-LC, termed her experience as a member to be that of great honor and privilege. "I enjoyed each and every moment with PWC-LC, learned a lot and made new friends," Almas said.
She described the Ladies Chapter as a tribe of successful women who empower each other.
Ambreen Faiz, a founding member, appreciated the ladies for their wonderful work to bring a good name for Pakistani women. "The PWC-LC has provided me an opportunity to hone my skills of public speaking and I remain very hopeful that the group would grow in future," Ambreen said.
Asma Tariq, currently adviser to the convener, said it was an honor and privilege for her to be a founding member of PWC-LC. "I have enjoyed each and every event in the past three years on this beautiful journey and I wish all success for PWC-LC," Tariq added.
Madiha Noman, the current event coordinator, described her three years with PWC-LC as very rewarding. "Women are the building blocks of any society.
PWC-LC has not only acknowledged that but has provided a wonderful platform to the Pakistani women of Riyadh to transform their dreams into reality. I feel honored to be associated with PWC-LC," Madiha said.
Farah Ehsan, the incumbent convener, expressed happiness on the third anniversary of PWC-LC. "I remember that memorable day, 15th November 2013 – when the then president of PWC Faiz Al-Najdi had founded the Ladies Chapter of PWC," Farah said.
She said today PWC-LC was like a bouquet of several beautiful flowers, as the team comprises a host of talented ladies from all fields of expertise.
Madiha Malik, incumbent deputy convener, expressed her two-year journey with PWC-LC as "an amazing one and full of excitement".
"In these past two years, I have met with some wonderful ladies and made friends with them. I found them very talented and have drawn inspirations from them all," Madiha added.
Qandeel Aymen, a founding member, appreciated the efforts of former president Najdi and current president Abdul Rauf Mughal who took the initiative of creating a forum where ladies could manifest their talents and creativity. "I thank all male members who nurtured PWC-LC in a very conducive manner," Qundeel added.
Shaheen Javed, one of the founding members of PWC-LC said, PWC-LC was in fact a group of talented, successful, passionate and adorable ladies. "I find myself to be very lucky among this group of lovely ladies," Shaheen added.
Shumaila Malik, incumbent finance secretary, said her journey of one year with PWC-LC has been a unique experience. "I believe when women with their collective wisdom set out to do anything then they can do wonders," Shumaila said. She also expressed her hope for a better and stronger PWC-LC in future.
