Roshan and her husband Rahim are wonderful people. They are not only humble but also very dedicated and helpful and have done a lot of seva in our Jamati institution. I pray that Mowla keeps them under His protection as always, ameen. Mansur

Roshan and Rahim, words cannot describe how proud we are of your work including the work of your children. Your family is a role model to many Ismaili muslim families. When we give examples of unconditional volunteerism to our children, it is all natural that we speak of you all. May the spirit guide you to new heights and that the intellectual clarity of your visions and aspirations be fulfilled with divine guidance. Best regards and prayers. Firdosh.
