Mfa Zaman said, Only the wearer knows where the shoes pinches. So I know how painful it is and become my duty to take off this pinch. Also make sure, this pinch will not hurt anyone. I am really grateful to my Lord who put me in test and again helped me to learn from the test. My faith, believe, dedication and determination helped me to come here. It was never ease. I had no one to hold my hand and no tears left to cry. But my vision and focus on how to overcome difficulties and become successful with an example. While I was trying to recover with positive vibe; I found few people who helped to go ahead. Always I want to remember and show my respect to these special people who hold my hand and support, motivate me to walk on my vision. Without them; I will not able to stand here because I had nothing even no place to live.

As a volunteer I am trying to give the best service to this society. Same time helping those who wants to make a positive change in their life. I always work with integrity, honesty. My work is to serve the creation of my Creator who blessed me with lots favours. Volunteer work creates a positive vibe, which helps me to motivate myself. And this motivation is helping the British society. We could not compare our life with money, house and social status. End of the day, this person is successful and happy who done something good for this world.
My motive in volunteer work is; I am doing volunteer service to help others without expecting in return from them, which will help me to become a truly generous.
