He was also selected to be a torch bearer for the 2008 Olympic Torch relay as the pride of Pakistan.
"We are heartened, but not surprised, by the interest of Canadians in this innovative educational project,’ says Winston Kassim, CM, Chair of IDRF."It is through their generosity that IDRF and Zindagi Trust will be able to provide proper education to poor and disadvantaged Pakistani children, particularly girls, many of whom face grave challenges in accessing quality education”.

The dinner event will be attended by over 500, including a number of dignitaries, politicians from various levels of government, the Consul General of Pakistan, and Ontario business and community leaders.
