Babur is originally from Afghanistan but had moved to Canada to study at the Carleton. He is currently studying biology. He plans to continue on the Biology road once graduated to finish his MD at Harvard Medical. Yet, medicine is not the only thing thing that Babur is passionate about. Babur before moving to Canada created a non profit that provides affordable glasses to Afghans free of charge. You See Clear is the name of his organization. According to the World Health Organization, more than 400,000 people are blind and roughly 1.5 million are visually impaired. Each year, about 25,000 people lose vision in one eye, a condition that disproportionally affects women. From these statistics there is a great problem that Afghanistan faces. I really like Babur for a couple of reasons. The first being that is he decided to pursue a higher education while wanting to start a nonprofit. This is significant due to the fact that when he finishes his MD it will give him a lot of creditability moving forward. I also think that it is great when entrepreneurs want to give back to the communities that they grew up in and make a change for the better. Overall I think this is a great idea and I find it very commendable to give back to your community.
This is such a cool story that shows how you can use your unique talents to contribute to something awesome that helps a lot of people. Also impressive that he is such a successful doctor, but also has an entrepreneurial mind for business.
What a wonderful business model and organization that Babur has! I am glad to see that he is giving back to his home country and providing aid to those with hinderances. I hope that he is able to finish his education and achieve his goals, but I am glad to see he has a organization that is making a difference in so many lives. I hope his non-profit continues to grow and create impact.
