It is with deep sorrow that we announce the demise of our founding patron, Dr. Zaeem H. Jafri, who passed away on November 14, 2009 after a protracted illness.
Dr. Zaeem’s contribution to LUMUN has been invaluable. Under his guidance and commitment, LUMUN was established as a society to introduce the Model UN simulation in Pakistan in 2002. Since then, he had been involved in every minor and major affair of the society and brought it to where it stands today.
However, he was more than just a patron for LUMUN. He was an inspirational teacher, an impeccable administrator and, most importantly, a compassionate father figure to all of us. His unwavering dedication to his job and LUMUN, despite his ill health, make him a role model that most of us aspire to be. While he handed over the patronship of LUMUN to Amb. Shahrayar M. Khan recently, he kept abreast of all our activities. With his demise, LUMUN has truly lost its greatest pillar of strength.
May Allah receive him in His Grace and give his family the strength to bear this immeasurable loss.
LUMUN Executive Council,
2009-2010.
