I have big dreams for them and myself The story of Safeeh Ur Rehman is one of struggle and a lot of heart. Hailing from the poor District of Nowshera in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Safeeh was adored in his village not because he wore crutches, but because he drove a Motor Cycle Rickshaw (Chingchi) and always took his passengers to their destinations with a huge smile. Safeeh never let his handicap become an excuse for not living his life fully. Barely breaking even with a meagre Rs. 200 a day from his Chingchi service, it was always with a heavy heart that Safeeh would go home to his wife and two sons. 11 SECTI ON NAME Bu s i n e s s Ma g a z i n e | Ap r i l 2 0 11 My condition is only of the body, but my heart and soul is ready to plunge foward Safeeh was the frst choice of his fellow community organization members to undertake the specialized skills training at Applied Technologies Institute at Dina.
