The donor appreciation lunch of The Citizens Foundation (TCF) Vancouver was held at Guildford Golf Country Club on April 28th,. TCF Pakistan’s Vice President Zia Abbas also flew in and gave an excellent presentation on activities of TCF in Pakistan. Donors appreciated the event overall and were generous in reiterating their commitment to the cause. TCF-Vancouver was able to raise over $5,000 in donations to sponsor TCF schools in extremely impoverished and backward areas of Pakistan.
