Grandfather of Hundreds of Children
In front of the main entrance of the University of Engineering and Technology, on GT Road, is a historic shrine of Lahore, "Budho Ka Ava". There is also an ancient cemetery in Lahore around this shrine. Many famous Lahore nobles, businessmen, industrialists and important people are buried in this cemetery. I visit this cemetery from time to time, read the gravestones, and in the light of these books, if any important person appears, I try to find them from the government library on Mall Road.
Prominent personalities of their time, whose names are probably unknown today, are buried in the darkness of obscurity. But in the same cemetery, unknown personalities of his time were also met. These are the people who lived in their time for a special purpose, which brought a smile on someone's face and that smile is still alive in their hearts today.
I try to meet the current superheroes of Pakistan. Kiss the hands of those who are happy to shape the destiny of others. This discovery took me to a village in Sheikhupura, 60 km from Lahore, where I met a superhero who stayed in an old age home for ten years due to his own negligence.
This is the superhero Sheikh Mohammad Afzal, who dedicated his 136 canal land to make a home for orphans but brave children. On the same land, a 25-room Agoosh hostel for brave children has been completed, while a world-class educational institution is under construction. When I arrived here a few days ago, I was shocked to see a modern hostel, school and computer lab in an airy place in a remote village. Along with the same Aghosh Center, a hostel for orphan girls on three acres of land belonging to superhero Sheikh Mohammad Afzal is also in the process of completion. When I got to this superhero's room, the kids at the center surrounded him. He was proud to say that he has 100 grandchildren, with whom he feels young and strong even at the age of 90.
