Ali-Goldie bond for a social cause

Ali Zafar hobnobbed with some Hollywood biggies over a charity dinner hosted by the Hawn Foundation at an exclusive private members’ club in London. Even Kurt Russell flew in to London to attend and help Goldie host the event.

Ali Zafar, who has long been a supporter of humanitarian causes be it for educating young women, or helping young cancer patients cope with their ailment, attended this dinner for The Hawn Foundation. It seeks to help transform children’s lives by providing them with opportunities to acquire vital social and emotional skills, to improve academic performance, enhance the quality of their lives, and to help them feel more connected to their communities.
As a father himself, this is a cause close to Ali’s heart. He commented, “Goldie and I had a long chat about how fame or personal achievement in itself cannot provide sustainable happiness to a somewhat successful person and key to happiness is helping others. I commend Goldie for taking such an initiative and inviting me to be a part of it. As a father myself, I think we as Pakistani artistes should take the initiative to develop such programs for children with learning difficulties in Pakistan.”
