Advice | 6 years ago | Reply Both these young ladies with their brother can do a lot of good for this Country, set up schools especially for girls in interior Sindh, set up teachers training colleges, set up small dispensaries, and small hospitals, set up vocational training centers with retail outlets to sell their products, leave the boxing for people like Amir and Anthony, do some good.
