Last year, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) asked its employees to submit donations for the financial assistance of a rehabilitation centre for children with neuromuscular disorders.
A notification was issued in this regard that sought employees for their voluntary participation to help Al-Shifa Trust-run Special School and Rehabilitation Centre for children inflicted with neuromuscular disorders like cerebral palsy and down syndrome in particular.
It reads that Al-Shifa Trust is running a school and rehabilitation centre at Terminal-2 Road, Jinnah International Airport Karachi and extending welfare to the community in general and special education and therapeutic services to the children.
