Good to see a UK charity is helping poor Muslim students to move forward in life. I wish rich Arab countries will also give some Zakat money to poor countries like Pakistan.
“Nursing is a well-respected profession in society. They are able to benefit and improve the loves around them,” she said. Kudos to her and her classmates. Keep up the good work, Pakistan needs good nurses, there is shortage of nurses all over the world. My grand daughter Kortney just graduated from nursing college in May and now she is a registered nurse after passing the State of Kansas medical board exam. I am proud of her and proud of you for furthering your education.
Onward to UK within 2 years.
