I was glad to learn that a new book is being written about my friend Shoaib Sultan Khan and the work that he has been doing for many years for the people of Pakistan, and beyond Asia He was trusted by the people as a friend, without in any way patronizing them...... His plans were backed by international donors, of which I am glad to say that Britain was one, and endorsed by His Highness, the Aga Khan, who lent his name to what became the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme, or AKRSP

No doubt, his inspiration came from the legendary Akhtar Hamid Khan, but his commitment to the field and for the marginalized came always from his own motivation.....He was able to convert sectarian rivalries into a healthy diversity worthy of respect and mustered the energy, that Pakistanis have in abundance, to build trust and an economic base in society..... His projects had solid financial support but remained modest in their approach and Style To see so many beautiful lives bloom into valuable assets for society is an amazing transformation. This book will now add value to all those who read the extraordinary achievements of development activists like Shoaib Sultan Khan
