"Today’s function surpassed all our hopes and expectations. We are ever so grateful,” remarked 88-year-old trustee Rati Cooper at the 125th year celebrations of the Bai Awabai Cooper Agiary in Lahore on July 29, 2018. The third generation of Coopers, Rati and her 75-year-old sister Perin Boga, the honorary managing trustee, were joined in the celebration by the other trustees — Amy King, Sarosh Challa and Dr Jamshed Jassawalla — who have taken upon themselves the onerous responsibility of maintaining the Agiary in the absence of a priest.
