Arif Ali Shah Bukhari

Mr. Arif Ali Shah Bukhari, Chairman of KASB Foundation and other KASB Group Companies had a very constructive meeting with Mr. David Grier, the inspirational figurehead from South Africa, who is serving humanity through his “Miles for Smiles Foundation” with the objective to raise funds and awareness for non-profit organizations the world-over to help thousands of children overcome poverty through life changing innovative decisions.

 

Mr. David Grier is one of the best known philanthropist, speaker, chef and inspiring personality who has also raised funds for reconstructive facial surgeries for underprivileged children, that has helped to change their lives forever.

 

Although asthmatic, he has proven to the world that the limitations we impose on ourselves are only in our minds by overcoming them with “running campaigns” that have sometimes been for months, with the most famous ones being running all the way on the Great Wall of China that covered a staggering distance of 4,200 kms in 98 days, besides his runs across India, Madagascar South Africa and many other such adventurous ventures to help raise funds and awareness for the needy, underprivileged and poor in our society.

 

Mr. Arif Ali Shah Bukhari and Mr. David Grier also discussed the need to help poor children in Pakistan with childhood deformities as well as deformities caused to women of disfigurement by the throwing of acid on their faces. To help create awareness through which this “cursed trend” is put to an end, Mr. Arif Ali Shah Bukhari also requested Mr. David Grier to “run across Pakistan – from Karachi to Peshawar” at a time convenient to him in the near future.
