Ahsas Disabled People Organization was founded consciously when I had to come out of village for secondary school education. I had to find a proper place in vehicles due to my disability. I had to suffer jolts and shoves and scornful words of people daily which always slurred that the society is enemy of disables. But I always thought to create a friendly relation with society. I never gave way to my disabilities to be a hurdle in my way. I always faced these situations rather I made every possible efforts to create awareness in society. My teachers and parents always encouraged me and never let my spirit break. They inspired me to get higher education. Today whatever I am, the credit goes to my teachers and parents. They always give the message that a 6 feet man is not a human but the real human is who has knowledge, sympathy and good character. They made me aware that I too can be a great man if I fulfill my educational goals seriously and cope with my disabilities. In fact, my teachers and parents are source of my inspiration. (May God bless them).
In the last 16 educational years of my life, I observed society keenly .I realized the status of PWD’s in society. Laughter’s sarcasm, taunts of people always followed me. This disgrace became helpful in running Ahsas Disabled People Organization in a proper manner. I prepared a basic plan for movement when I was a student of intermediate.
During 8th October earthquake [Kheber PK Pakistan] I was too much disappointed when I heard the cries of innocent children. After three hours of the earthquake I saw women and children near river side in a very pitiful condition. Children were asking for food and their mothers could do nothing except looking at sky and cry for assistance. I could not bear this all and I went to the earthquake ruined streets without considering the after shocks of earthquake. I was in search of food for the children. Voice of my elders was stopping me to go ahead but my sympathetic and sensitive heart was compelling to go towards the homes being damaged. It was the time when nobody was ready to go inside the streets.
In such situation I laid down the base of Ahsas welfare trust temporarily. I united a lot of villagers and removed the debris from streets and ways of mosques. I also set Ahsas welfare trust free medical dispensary and took medicines and first aid from different NGO's.
Doctor Muhammad Ilyas Quraishi MBBS [Ayub Medical Complex Abbottabad] joined me as a volunteer for treatment of injured people. In fact my mission was especially for disabled people therefore when other NGOs came and become helpful for earthquake affected peoples, I changed the name of Ahsas Welfare Trust into Ahsas Welfare Trust for special people. (Now it’s changed into AHSAS DISABLED PEOPLE ORGANIZATION during a meeting with SAIBAAN DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION and HANDICAP INTERNATIONAL). I requested to Molana Ghulam Nabi for guidance, honorable Molana Ghulam Nabi is executive head of an educational institute. He gave me approval after suggestion
I was unaware of techniques of field work, so I availed the help of different NGOs .eventually I met Mr. Imran and Mr. Jamshaid [field officers of AMAN PAKISTAN FOUNDATION].They told me about field work. I got training and started my mission from primary schools.
Eventually I reached to Saibaan Development Organization. Sahibzada Jawad AL-Faizi is the founder and Executive Director of this NGO. I was honored when he gave me chance of meeting in his office located in house no. F47 Ghazikot Township [Mansehra]. He not only attended me but also encouraged me. He asked me to start my plan. He guided me and gave basic training as well. He assured me to cooperate for which I am very thankful to him. Due to which my plan got out of mere papers and become field work.
It's the story of Ahsas Disabled People Organization.
You are requested to make prayers that we may remain resolute and constant in our plan and may it become a source of pardon of God for us
