Built in the 16th century around 1585, it was likely constructed during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, but According to various stories, Bhodesar Mosque was actually built by Mahmood Shah Bin Muzaffar Shah Bin Ghiyaas-ud-Din, the ruler of Gujarat, in 1505.

Larkana, a city in Sindh, Pakistan, is famously known as the "City of Guava" known locally as amrood or Zaitoon. This region is one of the country’s major guava producers, contributing 30-35% of Pakistan’s total guava supply. These guavas are cultivated on thousands of acres of fertile land, making Larkana a vital agricultural hub for this fruit.
The guava season in Larkana begins in November and continues until March, providing a steady supply of the fruit throughout the winter months. What makes Larkana’s guavas stand out is their unique characteristics—they are smaller in size, have a distinct rectangular shape, and feature pink flesh, although a large portion of the crops also produce guavas with white flesh, known for being extra sweet.
Due to their high quality and demand, guavas from Larkana are not only consumed locally but are also exported to major cities across Pakistan, making Larkana a key hub in the country’s guava production.

Stephen David Sheen , commonly known as Steve, hails from the U.K. and now teaches in a remote village in Sindh, Pakistan. An extraordinary individual, Steve left his home in Wales to dedicate his life to educating children in a Pakistani village.
Holding an MPhil in Physics from the University of Leeds, Steve first visited Pakistan as a tourist in 2010. During his visit, he came across a high school in Kot Diji, Sindh, called IRC (Indus Resource Centre) Faiz High School. After volunteering for a summer camp there, Steve felt a deep connection to the community and decided to stay, believing his mission was to empower the local children through education.
What’s even more remarkable is that Steve teaches in the students' native language, Sindhi! He learned Sindhi by interacting with the locals, becoming fluent over time.
While speaking to the media, Steve said,
"I have traveled the entire world, but I found the people of Sindh to be the most hospitable. I can now speak their language fluently, and it is a very beautiful language."
