About this book
Shamsher Ali Helal was born and brought up in Azimpur, a locality of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. At present he is a Canadian citizen. During the last thirty nine years of living abroad, he travelled many countries of the world. Thus he got the opportunity of knowing people of various cultures, religions and races. Differences among civilizations and cultures inspired him to work for humanity. He has been lucky enough to have interaction with the leading national and international personalities like Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhasani, Ahmed Deedat, Dr. Maurice Bucaille, Dr. Keith L. Moore, Dr. Zakir Naik, Gary Miller, Brother Abdul Hakim and so on. Social activist Ali has been working closely with the youth, especially in universities, colleges and schools of Bangladesh and Canada. He gave motivational speeches there as well as in radio and TV. He was awarded with the prestigious Ontario Volunteer Award of Ontario-Canada in 2000. It was the recognition of his participation in various social services as a volunteer including washing the dead bodies for the last 27 years. He is conducting various social activities through a voluntary organization named AIDESH in order to inspire the youth for the service of humanity. All these activities inspire the youth of the society and the neglected ones; like a lighthouse of hope and aspirations.
