Shukria Pakistan

If we were to take a moment out of our daily routines, and start thinking about all that Pakistan has blessed us with, that moment will turn into an eternity…
 
because the list is endless. Be it beautiful scenery of the tallest mountains or the shimmering coastline, the seasons that come in all their glory, our rich history, invaluable heritage and revere customs, and most of all, independence, freedom and a country we all call home. Most of us have unfortunately never taken the time out to appreciate Pakistan for all that it has given us. 
 
Ufone takes the first step towards that and says “Shukria Pakistan”. We would like U to take some time out and think for a moment about something positive about Pakistan. Think about what we can thank Pakistan for, and SMS your thoughts to 1947*.
 
Let us be proud of what we have, and make Pakistan say… “I am proud of U!”
