“In Pakistan lies our deliverance, defense & honor.” – Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Each Pakistani deeply regards countless sacrifices made by his ancestors for a secure homeland, which we got in the shape of “Pakistan” on 14th August, 1947. This year, we celebrated the 70th Independence Day of our beloved country, pledging to defend the country against all threats and make it a state as envisioned by the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Employees at IBEX Global celebrated this day with great enthusiasm and expressed their love for the country by wearing green and white clothes along with customized badges. All office buildings at each location across Pakistan were decorated with green and white balloons; big flags were displayed at the entrance of the building and small flag buntings were decorated on every workstation. Moreover, a special “Independence day” theme branding was also done via emails, in which various info-graphics were shared related to Pakistan.

The event leads along with the volunteers made all necessary arrangements to fulfill the requirements at each site. The day began with special prayers for the progress and prosperity of the country, followed by National Anthem, flag hoisting and cake cutting ceremonies, which took place at all facilities in Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. RED Club held “On the Spot” quizzes related to Pakistan’s info-graphics & conducted tongue twister competitions among employees. As a token of appreciation, special customized green & white t-shirt was awarded to all the winners.

Everyone witnessed a great day and captured the everlasting memories in the form of pictures and videos. These celebrations revived the true feelings of patriotism and made each one of us cherish the true spirit of Independence.
