LAHORE-The multi-talented singer and actor, Ali Zafar, has announced supporting education of underprivileged students from the Akhuwat College, Kasur.
The singer was especially invited by Dr. Muhammad Amjad Saqib, the Akhuwat’s founder, development practitioner and philanthropist, for a motivational talk on tolerance and fighting inferiority complexes.
Talking to students, Zafar said, “You’re extremely lucky because you’ve a role model right in front of your eyes (Dr Saqib) whose idea and passion changed the lives of thousands of people in the country.”
“It would be an honor for me to be a small part of this great cause,” the singer said.
He expressed pleasure that students from different ethnic and geographical backgrounds were studying at the College, asking them that “don’t waste your time on insignificant disputes. We all are different from each other but we must learn to tolerate, respect and appreciate our differences and each other’s faith and beliefs.”
