Renowned social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi was a role model not only for Pakistan but also for the entire world, said Prof Dr Nasreen Aslam Shah, Chairperson of Karachi University’s Department of Social Work and Director Center of Excellence for Women Studies.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of Abdul Sattar Edhi Lab at the Department on Sunday, she said that welfare and social services of late Abdul Sattar Edhi will be remembered forever.
Faisal Edhi, the son of Abdul Sattar Edhi, inaugurated the lab. Prof Nasreen Shah said that Abdul Sattar Edhi is not only recognised in Pakistan for his services but also worldwide. “His demise is a great loss for the humanity. He had devoted his entire life for serving the humanity,” she added.
She said, “Our youth must carry forward his great legacy of serving the humanity.” Edhi started his welfare services in a very difficult time and “we all should carry his mission forward in order to eradicate all the societal issues of our country,” she added.
