Supporting IHHN’S Shining Stars – Karachi Eat Festival 2023 

Karachi, January 09, 2023 (PPI-OT):The Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) participated in the Karachi Eat Festival from January 6-8, 2023, to raise funds for free-of-cost, quality chemotherapy sessions for childhood cancer patients at The Indus Hospital, Korangi Campus.

Under Indus Yaqeen, IHHN’s youth empowerment program, student volunteers diligently ran IHHN’s booth, which boasted a variety of delicious goodies for sale, including cupcakes, chicken patties, and assorted cookies. All food items were carefully prepared by the bakery at The Indus Hospital, Korangi Campus, and the cupcakes were freshly frosted in front of the guests, to their delight.

The booth also displayed a series of merchandise whose artworks were created by the childhood cancer patients at IHHN. These included mugs, notebooks, kitchen magnets, cards, etc. Upon each purchase, the guests were gifted a decorated card – handwritten by one of our patients – thanking them for their generous contributions and invaluable support.

Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) would like to give a special shout-out to all the volunteers who passionately championed IHHN’s noble work amongst the vast crowd at Karachi Eat Festival – the most renowned and iconic food festival in Pakistan. Apart from manning the booth, the volunteers routinely went out into the field and painstakingly brought families, individuals, and groups of people to IHHN’s stall, persuading them to support our shining stars.

Isra, a student volunteer and cancer survivor, said, “It is a great feeling for me that after surviving cancer, I can now stand here and motivate others to have faith that they will get better and help them in the way that I was helped. I am so thankful for the opportunity to help raise funds for life-saving cancer treatment.”

Usman Shahid, one of Indus Yaqeen’s senior volunteers, played an instrumental role in securing the booth’s success. Along with working at the booth, he also expertly organized and managed the communications between all volunteers and the IHHN team. Speaking on the experience, he said, “We volunteers worked really hard to make the event a success. I want to thank the people of Karachi and the team at Indus for supporting us and giving us this amazing opportunity to make a difference in the lives of so many children!”

Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, IHHN’s booth was able to generate enough funds to sponsor 48 chemotherapy sessions for childhood cancer patients.

Smith, Pradhan hail ICC for U19 T20 World Cup

Dubai, January 09, 2023 (PPI-OT):As teams put the final touches to the preparations for the inaugural ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, the game has been lauded for the step that it is taking by staging this tournament.

Former South African captain and ICC U19 World Cup alumni, Graeme Smith, saluted the ICC for its commitment to growing the game across the world, while former India women’s bowler and newly appointed ICC Women’s Cricket Manager, Snehal Pradhan, applauded the ICC for introducing a platform for more opportunities for the future stars of the women’s game through this gap-bridging pathway to senior and professional cricket.

As former international cricketers who have advanced to administration roles in the game, Smith and Pradhan are in the unique position of understanding the excitement of teams preparing for a World Cup and the work that it takes behind the scenes to deliver a world-class sporting event that will leave a lasting legacy.

“A junior World Cup is such a terrific platform to assess where you are as a cricketer with aspirations for the future,” Smith said ahead of the tournament starting on 14 January.

“It is very exciting to represent your country, at any level, and I am sure there have been Goosebumps across all the teams who are flying in for the Under19 Women’s T20 World Cup. It’s incredible to think that rivalries that will play out for years will be established at this tournament, as well as friendships that will last a lifetime,” he added.

Pradhan believes that this is an incredible and well-deserved opportunity for the players.

“It can’t be overstated what a great opportunity this is to experience a global event in their teens. They are getting exposure which they deserve, and this will provide a great step to progress to senior cricket,” she said.

A junior women’s T20 World Cup is a critical addition to the global game. The birth of this tournament was delayed by the global Covid-19 pandemic but will now finally provide future stars with the same platform as their male counterparts.

“That is a massive statement in itself, and we must commend the ICC and the different boards around the world for taking the growth of the game so seriously,” Pradhan continued.

Smith, recognized as one of the game’s great leaders, added that it was very encouraging to see flags that he had never played against.

“The health of the game is in its diversity. To see so many countries building a cricket culture is exciting for anyone involved in the game, because it reiterates the welcome that this sport provides to all who show an interest in it. Talent can come from any corner, as long as access to opportunity is provided,” Smith pointed out.

Pradhan echoed his sentiments, adding that making it a 16-team tournament was also progressive.

“We must commend the ICC Women’s Committee for making this a 16-team event. It takes bravery to invite countries that may not otherwise be at a World Cup. That allows the game to grow markets where, traditionally, cricket is not a big sport.

“There are several heart-warming stories already emerging from the make-up of the teams assembled in South Africa. This inaugural Women’s Under19 T20 World Cup truly is a global representation of the game and its future.

“Indonesia and Rwanda are playing a global event for the first time. Already, that is a success story before a ball has been bowled,” Pradhan pointed out.

There has never been a better time to be involved in cricket for women. There is an infectious energy, as evidenced by the record crowd of over 86,000 that crammed into the MCG for the last Women’s T20 World Cup final.

“The commercialization of the women’s game now makes business sense. It is a huge growth area,” Pradhan explained.

“Women deserve equal opportunity, because this sport has huge popularity.”

As the next generation embark on a new journey in South Africa, they will be sure to embrace the magnitude of the occasion.

All 41 games will be played in Benoni and Potchefstroom, from 14 – 29 January 2023.

UIS IMPORTANT DEADLINE TUESDAY: ROSEN, A LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Unisys Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important January 10 Deadline in Securities Class Action – UIS

NEW YORK, Jan. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) between August 3, 2022 and November 7, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 10, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Unisys securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Unisys class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9648 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 10, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company’s 2022 financial guidance was significantly overstated; (2) accordingly, once the truth was revealed, it was likely that Unisys would be required to negatively revise its 2022 financial guidance; (3) in addition to the foregoing, material weaknesses existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; and (4) as a result of all of the foregoing, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Unisys class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9648 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
