PUAN alumnus Jamal Abdul Nasir organized a memorable Cultural & Heritage Evening Networking Festival in Quetta under the PUAN Connects Grant. The gathering brought together 40 participants for an inspiring evening of tradition, unity, and cultural pride.

The evening featured storytelling sessions where senior alumni shared Balochi and Pashto tales, poetry, and historical narratives, connecting younger generations with the wisdom of their roots. Traditional music with the soulful sounds of the Soros and Dombra added depth to the celebration, creating an atmosphere of nostalgia and cultural pride. To make the event more engaging, interactive activities such as the “Baluchistan Chronicles” storytelling game, a collaborative heritage mural, and a lively cultural trivia challenge encouraged participation and strengthened alumni connections.

More than just a cultural evening, the festival became a platform of unity and collaboration, reaffirming pride in Baluch heritage while deepening relationships across diverse alumni communities. The event closed with a renewed commitment to remain connected and to continue supporting one another in the future.
