After moving to Toronto from Bangladesh in 1975, Suleman’s passion for helping others led him to pursue pharmacy in North York.
“It was a difficult and a bold move with many adjustments to be made,” he said. “Constantly changing and adapting to a new city, culture, set of friends, and school. I look back with no regrets.”
Currently, Suleman and his family live in Atlanta, GA and attend Northwest Jamatkhana. His pharmacy has adapted quickly to the changing environment of Covid-19.
“We do our best to sanitize the counters and floors, use gloves and masks, and wash our hands frequently,” he said. “However, it’s understandable that staff members still feel apprehensive to come to work, or have family, children, and elderly relatives to care for.”
Suleman said that from his experiences he learned that through hard work, sharing knowledge, and being disciplined, it’s possible to adapt to changing circumstances. “During this vulnerable time for many families, we should work together, appreciate our blessings and strengths,” he says. “Hopefully, this will translate into great habits in the future when things get better.”
