On March 20, 2025, College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM) and Chefs Association of Pakistan (CAP) – the only national association of chefs in Pakistan affiliated with Worldchefs – marked the occasion of the International Day of Happiness with a heartwarming and impactful celebration. The event featured a gift distribution ceremony, where COTHM’s team and CAP’s student members took the opportunity to spread joy and positivity among the needy and the children at two orphanages: SOS Children’s Village and Eat Sleep Repeat Against Hunger (ESRAH).
The event was a memorable occasion that not only spread happiness but also showcased the spirit of community and giving. COTHM’s team and CAP’s student members personally distributed gifts to the needy people and the beautiful children, leaving them with a sense of joy and encouragement.
In addition to the gift distribution, two exciting competitions were held at COTHM to encourage creativity and talent among participants:
Painting Competition:
The painting competition provided a platform for young artists to showcase their skills, with vibrant and meaningful artwork reflecting the theme of happiness.
60-Minute Video Competition:
The 60-minute video competition was another highlight of the day, encouraging participants to create engaging videos within a limited time frame. The videos covered a variety of topics, all emphasizing the importance of happiness and positivity in everyday life.
To recognize the outstanding talents displayed in both competitions, cash prizes were awarded to the winners. The competition not only helped discover new talents but also encouraged young minds to express themselves creatively.
While talking on the occasion, COTHM Director Media & Marketing and CAP Manager Fraaz Kasuri said that CAP and COTHM believe in spreading happiness by empowering the youth of Pakistan with skills and career opportunities.
The talent put up by the participants on International day of Happiness 2025 is a treat to watch and COTHM and CAP will keep engaging its students and members in healthy activities so that a happy and prosperous generation might be nurtured.
