Story: Aaliyah Khan

On his recent visit to England the President of Kashmir, Sardar M. Yaqoob Khan, toured 6 cities on a mission to help the partially blind in remote parts of Pakistan, Kashmir, Burma and India.

With the support of Sheffield's very own international Nasheed singer Ahmad Hussain, who mesmerised audiences with his melodious voice, the Gift of Vision tour was successful in raising funds to help approximately 10,000 people undergo free surgery for cataracts and other visual impairments.

One of Fir Vale's well known businessmen, Mr Karamat Hussain of Bollywood Fashions on Firth Park Road, attended the event in Bradford and had the opportunity to meet with the President and thank him for his commitment and hard work.
