“Real happiness lies in inner satisfaction,” articulated Sherzad.

Sherzad hails from the beautiful Yaseen Village in the Ghizer District of Gilgit Baltistan. He graduated with honours in Journalism from the University of Karachi and worked with Dawn TV and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Although he was successful in his career, he felt a profound emptiness inside, a darkness he longed to fill with light. Sherzad identified the source of his discontent: the pressing issues of climate change and global warming, and his minimal contribution to addressing these problems. Furthermore, the income he was earning from his employment was not enough to fulfil the fundamental needs of his family.

Rai Dr Ashak Nathwani AM, based in Sydney, Australia, is a shining example of dedication and commitment to the Ismaili Community's Time & Knowledge Nazrana (TKN) initiative. His journey as a TKN volunteer is a testament to his passion for service and his unwavering commitment to promoting sustainable solutions.

On the solemn occasion of ANZAC Day 2024, the Ismaili community across Australia and New Zealand demonstrated their deep commitment to remembrance and civic duty by actively participating in marches and services honouring the sacrifices of veterans.
