Mother Teresa of Pakistan: Ruth Pfau

[I.R.A]

Not wanting to be elitist, but one can sense/make out a product of a gora teacher. Sadly they've all gone now. They are an institution. A part of our history which will now be forgotten by all except those who studied under them. In our ultra nationalist Islamist and Sanghi environments, living and respecting your gora sir/father/brother is equivalent to being a gaddar angrez ka choocha.

Yep they were all legends, the most distinguished characteristic........ them being selfless, not doing it for any incentive but for their own personal satisfaction.

P.S. Yes their canes were legendary. Different lengths and thickness for different degrees of Ch*yapa done. All on top of the cupboard.

No instructions or questions needed to be asked when you were called in. You just bent forward to touch your toes and waited for the sting! Lol

Then showed off the wheal to your friends like a medal of honour for the next week till it began to fade.

We used to call it getting beating on PP ... proper place

Good old days. Na fiker na faka ............ with our house master we used to wear thick note books in our undies till one day one of us fools was caught making fun of how housemaster didn't realise it. Yep after that incident we would go through a frisking routine at hands of house bearer before bending to get the fair share of our beating quota.

I truly admire the kind of people that Ms Ruth PFau was. In my humble opinion people like Ruth PFau, Abdus Sattar Edhi, Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer etc. are kinds of ‘Human being’ that refresh one’s faith in the mankind.

May she rest in peace.

A LEGEND PASSES AWAY! (Dr. Ruth Pfau – 1929 - 2017)

The team of the Consulate General of Germany is deeply saddened on the demise of Dr. Ruth Pfau: founder of the National Leprosy Control Programme in Pakistan and the Marie Adelaide Leprosy Centre in Karachi and in all provinces of Pakistan including Gilgit-Baltistan.
Dr. Pfau had been living in Pakistan since 1960 and came to the country at the age of 29. She had dedicated the last 50 years of her life to treating patients in Pakistan.
It was due to her endless struggle that Pakistan defeated leprosy and became free from it in 1996. Dr. Ruth Pfau received numerous accolades for her services; Hilal-e-Imtiaz in 1979, Hilal-e-Pakistan in 1989 and the German Staufer Medal in 2015.
Her services to humanity will always be remembered.

Dr Ruth Pfau:

Dr Ruth Pfau. Pakistani legend. Represented the pinnacle of human empathy & dedication. May God grant her soul peace & tranquility.

She had travelled to various parts of Pakistan to medically facilitate leprosy patients, a journey she said enjoyed tremendously because of the marked difference made in the lives of her patients.

With her efforts, in 1996, the World Health Organisation declared Pakistan one of the first countries in Asia to have controlled leprosy. She was awarded the Hilal-e-Pakistan in 1989 and Hilal-e-Imtiaz in 1979 by the government of Pakistan. Dr Pfau was also on the front line when Sindh was hit by floods in 2010.

In December 2015, Dr Pfau, was awarded the Staufer Medal at the German consulate. “I could have left Pakistan earlier if I wanted to but I will stay here,” said Dr Pfau as she accepted the award from German consul-general Rainer Schmiedchen.

A ceremony was organised at the German consulate to mark Dr Pfau’s services and for the German consul-general to award her with the Staufer Medal, the highest award of the German state of Baden-Württemberg for her work to eradicate leprosy in the country.

“When I came to Pakistan no one recognised me but then people started to appreciate my work across the country,” said Dr Pfau of the Marie Adelaide Leprosy Centre. “I have worked hard with my team to eradicate leprosy in Pakistan, our hard work could not completely eliminate this disease but at least we managed to decrease it,” she said. “This award is not just for me but for all of my teammates,” Dr Pfau added.

she would be kept remember of her great services for humanity
