Dear All
I am sorry to share this news with all of you that Saima Ammar passed away in the early hours of this morning after a long struggle with Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and Multiple Sclerosis. Saima was in her 40s.
"اِنّا للہ و اِنّا الیہ راجعُون"
“I am Saima Ammar and I am blind”; this was the brief but yet a moving introduction that Saima gave to her audience before the start of any seminar or a speech that she delivered both internationally and locally.
She was the daughter-in-law of well-known poet, Professor Anwar Masood famous for his comic poetry and wife of Ammar Masood.
She was the Chief Executive Officer of Pakistan Foundation Fighting Blindness (PFFB).
Despite of her disability she did her MA in International relations and helped thousands of people to pursue their goals in the area of education.
She worked for the library for blind people in Islamabad. Though with wide vision, she was physically not able to see.
Although I have never personally met her but her great work for humanity had connected me with her instantly.
Please go to her web site http://saimaammar.wordpress.com/ in this forward and feel the loss of a great human being.
For Condolences, Mr. Ammar Masood can be reached at his Mobile: 00923215047282
