THE GOOD MAN OF PAKISTAN
19. 1.17:00 → 18:00
Pakistan is frequently in the news for Muslim fundamentalism, sectarian violence, and political instability. But one man seems to be working toward a new vision of Pakistan. Abdul Sattar Edhi is the head of the country's largest humanitarian organization. Over the last 60 years or more, he has given homes to 50,000 orphans, rescued 20,000 abandoned babies and trained over 40,000 nurses. Now, at almost 90 years of age, although he still works every day, he and his wife Bilquis, are starting to pass the foundation on to their children.
