Dr. M Mazhar awan, ceo - Vision trust

 "Serving humanity and doing good for our nations has always been our shared dream. We have nurtured this dream over last half a century of shared childhood aspirations.
Though our paths and journeys of life were different, all these years, but our quests for destiny have always shared one, and that is, to serve selflessly and to serve well.
Vision Trust is our brain child and I have my heart and soul in it. Many a dreams have seen the light of the day through tireless efforts  and many have yet to materialise.
We remain determined, committed and earnestly pray for two things. One, that may Allah accept our humble submissions for the cause worthy of rewards in the life hereinafter and Two, may Allah increase our capacities to serve more and more of his people."

 "Being able to serve fellow human beings in need, is truly an inborn human emotion. In the circumstances of my service that is, in keeping myself available to my nation as a fighter pilot, I was left with little time and resources to indulge into this pleasure. When Dr. Mazhar Awan and Justice Mushir Alam, known to me since last 47 years presented the idea of Vision Trust, I was naturally pleased. I join the cause, and have decided to put in all that I can, in whatever way I can to further this noble endeavour."

 "Being a Trustee Vision Trust creates a sense of responsibility as well a source of satisfaction.
The satisfaction is that no matter how humble my contribution may be it is definitely in the right direction.
Though my professional commitments leave a very small opportunity for me to pitch in with Dr. Mazhar Awan and my father Syed Humayun Kalam in their almost daily endeavours, I remain an ardent supporter and pray for the success of the objectives of Vision Trust."

 "I love to emulate my late father Shaikh Mahmud Hussain in his welfare endeavours especially Karachi Anti Tuberculosis Association. He was one of the founders and life members in the said Association.
Associating with Vision Trust viz a viz Dr Mazhar Awan and Justice Mushir Alam, gives me an opportunity to carry forward the legacy my late father initiated soon after Pakistan came into existence. The mission of human welfare activities that I always called from within and as a remembrance of my father.
I feel proud to be associated with Vision Trust,  and wish all the success in its efforts and pray for the realisation of its objectives, and shall always be willing to contribute in whatever humble ways I can."

 Quite often, some points in life turn out to be the turning points in one's life. One such point in time, in my life turned up back in 1997,  when a young junior staff member of our office was diagnosed with cancer.
The humane part of my personality took over me with a force that rules me till the time of writing of these lines. Such was the force of this emotion and such was the growth of this helping hand for fellow humans within me, that  it completely re-directed the course of my entire life and objectives for ever.
In 2003, I formed a Trust, Nasiruddin Pirzada Welfare Trust in memory of my late father a retired Colonel in Pakistan Army. Started a tiny little one-room vocational centre of women in Azam Basti, a low lying underprivileged neighborhood of Karachi - Pakistan. By the grace of Almighty, at the time of this writing, it has grown into a primary School, upto 5th grade with 300+ children receiving quality education free of cost.

Not many professionals chose Community Ophthalmology as their career,  for this may not be as financially lucrative as the private practice in ophthalmology can be.

It takes a high degree of sensitivity towards the needs of community and a commitment for the cause of humanity to give up financially rewarding private clinical ophthalmology practice and chose to serve in other important ways.

Dr. Muhammad Zahid Jadoon is among those that chose the second option and it makes me proud to know him, for this is what I chose for myself back in 2003.

We at Khairunisa Eye Hospital remain indebted to him, for the valuable advices and guidance we look forward to and unhesitantly get from him whenever we request.

We are currently working under his supervision to develop an internship program for Optometrists. A service for,  much needed Human Resource Development in Pakistan, to take on the fight against blindness
