After hearing the life stories of PEF Alumni, I felt compelled to join PEF Canada as an obligation and a privilege that Allah (S.W.T) has given me. I was excited by the opportunity to participate in a project of transforming the lives of these aspiring young men and women, who has done whatever was in their hands, but need just a little help to complete their professional education. This is what I call "charity at its best", it has given me a purpose and a true feeling of fulfillment.
