Muzammil is a student activist and a part of the transnational campaign “Peace Without Borders” by Shaoor Foundation for Education and Awareness. He maintains special interest in issues related to mental health and drug abuse among college and university students. Muzammil is currently halfway through his undergraduate at Institute of Business Administration Karachi, where he is a part of Youth Wing of United Nations Associations of Pakistan.
Muzammil’s work focuses on identifying and combating the causes of increased use of drug abuse amongst the student and raising awareness regarding the severity of the issue in the society. Since he plans to join the corporate sector after graduation, his aim is to bring the above issues under the light of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaigns of high-profile public and private companies, in order to help young student-activists increase the magnitude of their efforts. Muzammil has a strong passion for meditation and mindfulness-focused lifestyle, following which he conducts small meditation sessions with his friends occasionally. He plans to inculcate this lifestyle in and beyond his community to counter increasing levels of stress and vulnerability to depression and related mental health issues. Like all of us here at Peace Without Border – Pakistan, Muzammil believes that societal peace begins from personal peace.
