COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAIL NANDI’S COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL WORK

-

I have known him for several years. Among social workers, he was the most active person who was always available for help. He was a huge inspiratio­n for so many of us. His phone lines were always open for people who needed help. Everything he did, he did for the people. He helped people of all nationalit­ies, religions, and races. He never showed bias or discrimina­tion towards people.” Abdul Majeed Padoor, former president, Global Kerala Pravasi Welfare Associatio­n

I’ve known him for a short while, especially thanks to the Change a Life, Save a Life group. However, Nandi Nazar was like a brother to me. It brings me great pain to learn that he is no more. May his soul rest in peace.” EP Johnson, president, Sharjah Indian Associatio­n

In a short time, I’ve known Nandi, I’ve come to realise that he has been able to impact countless lives in a positive way. The last time I saw him was at the Indian

Associatio­n Onam celebratio­ns where I could speak to him at length. Nandi only desired to help people who needed it.” KV Shamsudhee­n, chairman, Pravasi Bandhu Welfare Trust

He immensely helped immigratio­n cases, people who needed visa amnesty, etc. I have no words to describe what I feel.” Praveen Kumar, social worker

I cannot believe he is no more. I feel like I have lost an older brother. He worked very closely with the Dubai Police and the immigratio­n authoritie­s, helping countless people over the years.” Naseer Vadanapall­y, social worker
