Nadia Jamil's true introduction was revealed in a photo where she is standing with six children. Among them is Ali, who Nadia introduces herself as a mother to.
The oldest has started getting *GET* training and wants to join the army. He has been working for 4 years. When he used to sit on these footpaths doing manual labor, he was only 17. Today, he gives his food to others before he eats. This boy, Sabir, is a patient child. The one next to him is my hero, Arshad, who fixes cycles and works tirelessly. Now he is studying to become an engineer. Then there is Talha, who, at the age of 7, had to become a mother and father to his younger siblings after the death of his parents. Our upbringing was tough, and he showed great resilience. He came out of that environment, shining.
This has been an incredibly challenging task, which required a lot of hard work. After a few days of birth, Talha's mother passed away, and he stayed by my side, smiling. Ali Shakir is another hardworking youth who forgave his brother's murderer. He didn't retaliate, thanked me, and found peace in his freedom. His bravery in coming out of that difficult environment and living a life full of respect make me proud.
Nadia Jamil's humanitarian work is commendable. Perhaps that's why she has refused to accept life-prolonging treatments despite suffering from a severe illness like cancer.
