Remembering Naeem Bhajwa: A Tribute to His Quiet yet Impactful Work
Sunday, July 13, 2025
Naeem collaborated with Anees Yaqub and Mohammad M-Ali to develop the Society for the Promotion of Art and Culture, a subsidiary of DGFK e.V. Berlin. He was also involved in waste reduction programs, including a notable project in Ladakh and Sunderbans, where he introduced a simple system of waste separation to mitigate the environmental impact of burning waste. Additionally, Naeem worked on climate-friendly construction and renewable energy projects, including model test houses built by Professor Pintsch in Lahore.
Naeem's dedication to his work and his passion for making a positive difference in the world were evident in all that he did. He received the Environmental Protection Award for his selfless work on solar cookers and windmills. Lahore University students from various institutions, including COMSATS, BNU, UEAT, NCA, and PU, came together to visit examples of climate-friendly construction and decentralized, adaptive technology, showcasing Naeem's impact on the community.

Empowering Women Through Handicrafts: Thatta Kedona Website Launched
Monday, May 12, 2025
At this joyful milestone, we fondly remember the German artist, Graphic Designer and Anthropologist Dr. Senta Siller, who founded this remarkable project over three decades ago and will be celebrating her 90th birthday this year. We also pay tribute to her husband, Dr. Norbert Pintsch, who stood beside her throughout this inspiring journey.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the many volunteers from around the world—especially from Germany—who visited our hamlet, Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka, in District Okara, Pakistan, and generously shared their knowledge and expertise with the local community.
We warmly invite you to visit the website and share your feedback with us.

Addressing the Clean Water Crisis in Our Village TGD
Thursday, May 8, 2025
Several years ago, our local NGO, Anjuman-e-Falah-Aama (AFA), managed to restore the decades-old water supply system. However, due to financial limitations, we were unable to install a proper water distribution system at that time.
Thanks to the generous support of Mrs. Aliya Nadeem, wife of our late friend and devoted supporter of our village project, Mr. Nadeem Wahid Siddiqui, we have now been able to take a vital step forward. Mrs. Nadeem has kindly funded the installation of a water distribution point on the outer wall of the village Pump House, making clean water easily accessible to all villagers. Four water taps have been installed to ensure that people can collect water in an orderly and dignified manner, without the need to crowd or push. The clean drinking water is provided free of cost, and we hope this initiative will significantly reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases in our village.
We, the members of AFA and the residents of the village, express our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Aliya Nadeem for her invaluable contribution. We also pray for the soul of Mr. Nadeem Wahid Siddiqui - may he rest in peace and be granted a high place in Jannat (paradise).

Celebrating Punjab's Rich Heritage
Friday, April 18, 2025
The Alhamra Arts Council in Lahore recently hosted a three-day Punjab Culture Day celebration, and Thatta Kedona was proud to represent the Sahiwal Arts Council and Sahiwal Division. The event, held from April 17 to 19, showcased the rich cultural heritage of Punjab, featuring traditional music, art, and folk traditions.
Thatta Kedona's stall was a highlight of the event, featuring an array of vibrant handicrafts that showcased the region's unique craftsmanship. The stall's centerpiece was the exquisite handmade ethnic Pakistani dolls, which were a testament to the skill and creativity of local artisans.
The event was honored by a visit from Chief Minister Punjab, Maryam Nawaz, who was impressed by Thatta Kedona's handicrafts. She particularly appreciated the handmade and unique dolls and crafts on display, praising the organization's efforts to promote Punjab's cultural heritage. Provincial Minister Azma Bukhari also visited Thatta Kedona stall.
