It’s always been a common dream to see a world where a human being should never pay for their health, education, or food. While it sounds like a romantic dream for some, it is being practiced in reality in some places of the world. In welfare states such as Canada or many Scandinavian countries, health and education is free, and food is provided through donations or food stamps. This concept emerges as an idea that spreads throughout a community, and it comes from a selfless, human desire to see a society of compassion, kindness, and love. How can we imagine a society where a few people receive all the luxuries of life because of being born lucky geographically? Deep down, this develops a psychological guilt conscience for those who were born not as lucky. A modern, technological world may fulfill our dreams and lead us in a direction where people will not be at a loss due to any hereditary misfortune. A virtual educational and medical institution could be the best idea where people can be helped without being discriminated based on their colour or race. The Meraj Nasim Virtual Memorial Hospital and Himayat Ali Shair Foundation is a concept at an individual level founded by us as a family that sees a dream of social equality and communal benefit with the hope of becoming a collective dream in the coming future. It’s a beautiful saying – care for the creatures of God, and God will love you.
