“I grew up defending kids that were being bullied because it always bothered me. It is the ultimate privilege to use the strength to defend the weaker. I am still on the same mission to empower the next generation with value systems that make them stronger, responsible and valuable to the society. They are our future and they are going to take over one day, so I would like to be a part of their success and their journey. Many people have stood by me throughout my career, shaping my success. So this is how I can give back to the community”, explained Abdul Kareem, when asked about his project.
