1^st Rehana Nazar - National Junior Squash Championship 2010

Rashid Memorial Welfare Organization (RMWO) & Sindh Squash Association (SSA) intend to organize "1^st Rehana Nazar- National Junior Squash Championship 2010” from 13-18 February 2010 at Rehana Nazar Squash Complex, RashidAbad District TandoAllayar with the prize purse of Rs. 300,000/-.

            Rashidabad: A project city 30 km from Hyderabad, launched by a group of PAF retired officers under Rashid Memorial Welfare Organization (RMWO), stands out as an OASIS in the desert of SINDH. It has been inspired by the supreme sacrifice of Flt Lt Rashid Ahmed who in an attempt to save precious lives steered the burning aircraft away from thick population of Karachi. While he declined to eject, upholding the spirit of his PAF predecessors embraced Shahadat on 13 Dec 1997. The city is a living monument in his memory- serving thousands daily in the field of EDUCATION, HEALTH, SOCIAL SECURITY and ENVIRONMENT.

The REHANA NAZAR SQUASH COMPLEX is financed by a single family in USA (Khurram & Sameera), with a prayer that one day this shall produce a Jahangir Khan- InshaAllah. Sindh Squash Association (SSA) decided to hold the first Rehana Nazar-National Junior Squash Championship from 13 to 18 Feb. SSA is quite confident the juniors participating from round the country would inspire the rural youth in Sindh, and in turn get inspired by their visit to see the spirit of greater Pakistan relighted.
