RICHMOND – A South Asian family who escaped war torn Uganda in 1972 to make Canada home are pledging to make a huge donation to help the COVID-19 efforts in Richmond, BC.
Pyarali Nanji and his family including his wife Gulshan and their four children, who were among many who were exiled from Uganda in 1972 alone and found a welcome refuge in Canada, plan to donate $100,000 to the Richmond Hospital Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund.
Grateful to the country that took them in, allowing the family to start over, Pyarali and Gulshan made a pledge to give back. Their charitable giving has had a tremendous impact across Canada and today, they hope to inspire our community to join together in this time of crisis.
Holding firmly to the belief that a positive response to challenging times is an opportunity to demonstrate the goodness and kindness that is in us all, the Nanji Family Foundation invites you to join with them to make a significant impact together.
