He said that his journey from working for a corporate firm to realising more fulfilment and satisfaction that comes with selflessness was a life changing experience.
Abdul Sattar Edhi was a philanthropist and social worker establishing the biggest private ambulance system all across Pakistan as well as Edhi homes for the abandoned children, orphanages and shelter homes for the elderly.
He died on Juky 8, 2016, due to kidney failure. His death sent shockwaves across the country to his fans creating a huge vacuum in the field of philanthropy. He became the third Pakistani to receive state funeral.
