The College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM) celebrated International Father’s Day in a truly memorable and heartwarming way, honoring the invaluable role of fathers while blending the essence of family, food, and future aspirations.
The event was an emotional journey that beautifully showcased the bond between students and their fathers. The celebration began with a touching welcome as COTHM students presented elegant flower bouquets to their fathers, a moment that moved many to tears. Fathers, visibly emotional, embraced their children with pride and love, reflecting the strength of family values that COTHM strives to instill alongside professional education.
One of the most memorable aspects of the event was the “Cooking with Love” segment, where students prepared their fathers’ favorite dishes. These culinary creations, crafted with both passion and skill, were a testament to the world-class training students receive at COTHM.
The fathers were overwhelmed with joy, praising their children’s efforts and proudly recognizing the transformation they had undergone through their hospitality education.
Many fathers took the opportunity to express their heartfelt thanks—not only to their children for the loving invitation, but also to COTHM for organizing such a meaningful event that allowed families to connect on a deeper level.
“It’s not just about food or gifts today—it’s about emotions, values, and unforgettable memories,”
One father remarked.
The celebration continued with a joyous gift distribution, followed by a delightful cake-cutting ceremony attended by none other than the Founder, CEO, and President of COTHM, Mr. Ahmad Shafiq. The presence of Mr. Shafiq added prestige and inspiration to the event.
Addressing the media and attendees, Mr. Ahmad Shafiq expressed his gratitude for the strong support from parents and reaffirmed COTHM’s mission to uplift and empower its students both professionally and personally.
“Every one of our students would be a shining star of the nation and country,” he stated with pride.
“COTHM would never leave any stone unturned to smooth their way to success.”
This Father’s Day celebration was not just an event—it was an experience. It brought together families, encouraged emotional expression, and celebrated the remarkable journey of students evolving into professionals. It also highlighted COTHM’s dedication to holistic education, where skills meet values, and passion meets purpose.
As the event came to a close, the smiles, tears, laughter, and hugs served as reminders of the powerful connections that define both family and education.
