SEEDS OF PEACE From international celebrities to local superstars we see people coming together to aim for universal equality and peace. Our very own Mahira Khan visited the Afghan refugee camp in Karachi. Speaking at a UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) event, the actor said, “If we come together and try to collectively try to help the situation, however, and whatever little way we can, we are only making the future of this world better.” Bollywood celerity Varun Dhavan also lauded Mahira for her efforts in cheering the refugee kids. May more celebrities and influential individuals be inspired by Mahira and geared towards this motive.

CURBING THE WATER CRISIS
Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke to the nation in a brief televised address to appeal for donations to the dams fund set up by the Supreme Court. He warned of the rapid depletion in our water resource and the inevititability of drought-like conditions by 2025 if immediate steps were not taken. Following his address donations started pouring in. Mr. Malik Riaz, Chairman Bahria Town announced a contribution of Rs. 50 million , Mr. Shahid Khan, Pakistani-American philanthropist has pledged $1 Billion and Mr Aleem Dar, Pakistani Cricket umpire donated $10,000 to the Dam construction fund!
CATFIGHT IN COUTURE
Wanderlust at THE SHEPHERDS INN Launched by @HunzaOnFoot this initiative converts basic shepherd huts into a gorgeous rugged bed & breakfasts! Providing tourists with off-the-beaten-path locations, minimizing town crowding, championing sustainable ethical tourism & initiating a new revenue stream for shepherds (as well as the surrounding communities) - this idea is genius in so many ways! It promotes the heritage and culture of places that not many people visit because there’s no place to stay. Staying away from large towns & hotels forces people to connect with nature in an off the grid location! We will definitely check these out when in Hunza and would recommend the same to you! Oh and all the positive social and environmental implications aside, these huts look straight out of an Enid Blyton novel! Get packing!
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s feud has reached a fever pitch. Videos have surfaced of them throwing down at New York Fashion Week’s Harper’s Bazaar Icons party (complete with Cardi hurling a show at Minaj & later walking out with a huge swollen lump on her forehead!) It’s still unknown as to what caused the quarrel to escalate, but Cardi B took to Instagram afterwards alleging Nicki criticized her parenting skills. We’re glued to the drama but wouldn’t mind peace reigning and a collaboration!
When it comes to talent, Pakistanis have left no creative field unmarked. Team Weekend has recently discovered a MUA Ayesha Babar who recreates famous celebrity looks. Her work includes Pakistani politicians and international celebrities such as Meghan Markle, Benazir Bhutto and a lot more. Follow her @ayeshababarmakeupstudio to get your favorite celebrity’s look!

Superwoman Serena
Japan's Naomi Osaka beat Williams in a Grand Slam showdown that ended in tears for both players. What was supposed to be a fairy-tale matchup for Osaka & the player she idolizes, spun out of control after Williams was handed code violations that she called unfair. Serena Williams' heated dispute with the umpire during the US Open final is the latest controversy involving the tennis superstar in recent months.
