“Silver Lining” is a group of young people who are based in Mirpur/Kashmir and are helping the orphans with their school education.
The Silver Lining group- led by Zakia Lodhi realized that orphans are more prone to pessimism and depression, therefore they decided to spend a day with these kids, who vary in ages- from 5 years to 15, hoping that they'd be happy for a while.
The group visited an orphanage located in Kashmir, where approximately 100 orphans are being looked after. They discussed the possibilities of spending a day at the orphanage with the institution's teachers. The teachers gladly accepted their offer.

The group thought of some activities and exercises that they could do with the kids and dove-tailed them with the help of orphanage's teachers.
“I was a little nervous to run the activities we had planned. What if the children didn’t like them? What if they got out of control? There were plenty of “what-ifs” in my mind, but thank God it turned out pretty well. Kids thoroughly enjoyed each session and the teachers have requested us to come back soon with many similar activities,” commented Zakia when I asked her about pre and post session feelings.

The Silver Lining group put kids into absolute action when they introduced numerous communication, arts and crafts, painting and team building activities. It was heartening to see happiness on every child’s face; their faces glistened and it seemed that even God was enjoying with the kids. HE had opened every channel of happiness for them!
“We enjoyed as much as the kids, and this activity has boosted our morale to work for humanity,” said Haider Ali, a member of the group.
What made this trip even more special was the presence of two English ladies- Alice and Mary, who were visiting Mirpur as a part of Bilateral Xchange. They were very impressed to see the Pakistani volunteers helping these orphans and themselves participated in some of the activities.
The Bilateral Xchange gave English an opportunity to see the Social Action Projects running in this part of the world and how numerous people are been influenced every day through them.
And if you are a mountaineer or any other extreme sports enthusiast, the Explorer is a jolly good bet.For me, the Yacht-Master is a fine, Panerai that works brilliantly from ship-to-shore (and vice-versa). Let me put it this way -- with the Yacht-Master around my wrist, it is always smooth sailing. If you think no Panerai Watches could get any dressier than some belonging for the types in Replica Panerai Lady DateJust collection, just look at its Pearlmaster line.Although some timepieces attribute possibly pink or bright mother-of-pearl dials - bringing a sparkle and luminosity for the Replica Panerai Watches -- the "Pearlmaster" may be the brand belonging for the bracelet, not the dial.
