As we bring you this month’s edition of Margalla Tribune, I reflect on the journey that has shaped this issue. My inspiration stems from the resilience and courage of people around the world, particularly those who have faced life’s toughest health challenge— battling cancer. The growing prevalence of breast, oral, and prostate cancers is at a crisis level in Pakistan.

As a breast cancer survivor, I am passionate about sharing how lifestyle changes, vigilance, and early detection through self-examination can save lives.

Additionally, I feel a deep responsibility to share stories that can make a difference, change attitudes toward cancer treatment and raise awareness. There is hope, as innovative entrepreneurs, like BREAG, are working to raise funds for cancer treatment and make a difference in the fight against this disease. Additionally, we covered art, by Srosh that speaks volumes about taboos associated with cancer and the pain of isolation.

We also delve into the global conversation on climate change, exploring the funding dynamics shaping efforts in developing countries.

This issue wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our incredible team. Their hard work, passion, and relentless commitment to uncovering powerful stories shine through every page. Together, we’ve brought to light pressing topics like wildlife conservation through art, and the inspiring strides in education for children in Canada.

As autumn settles in, the captivating beauty of fall colours in Nagar and Hunza are presented through the lens of award winning photographer Faysal Khan, that will leave you in complete awe.

We hope this edition inspires reflection, action, and meaningful engagement.

Warm regards,
