Ebad Khan
The most important thing I learned from Korangi Academy, from the teachers, from the staff and from Agha Hasan Abedi, is that if ALLAH gave you a chance and made you capable of achieving something you don’t have to keep it to yourself but you should share it.
I learned to serve community from very early age because of the community service projects I did in school and Korangi Academy. I worked with many organizations like FESF Family Education Service Foundation which is an organization working for deaf people and their rights in this community; I worked with HOP House of Peace, Individual land and KYI (Karachi Youth Initiative).
I’m working on my photography skills as photography is my passion and I’m looking forward to spread awareness through my photography. ALLAH blessed me with an opportunity that I’m studying in a school like Korangi Academy from where I’m learning all those skills which will help me influencing my community positively. I have been inspired to know that real happiness is hidden in sacrifice, care and selfness spreading smiles, Medicating wounds and wiping tears is the way of world for me.
