The Boon Initiatives were inspired by Kumail. A. Shirazee. On April 25th 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, I lost Kumail, in every sense of the word, I lost my world. Kumail was a sage, a lion-hearted sheep in the wolf’s clothing of a barrister. Since the age of seven his mission has been what he called his “search for goodness”. He believed that the “purpose of mankind was to evolve from base to higher consciousness, through good choices from a loving heart”.

Kumail called me his “boon” : my sole purpose is now to live up to that, to be his Boon not just in this world, but the next. The Boon Initiatives are my attempt to build on the legacy of his beliefs, in a series of social impact projects aimed at bringing back joy and heart to the commerce of living, in a homage to the biggest heart it has been my privilege to know. Since the day he left I have been surrounded by Heroes, who have been helping me every step of the way. I know the goodness he sought exists, as I have seen it in each of your faces, messages, calls, pledges and efforts.

To be honest, i do not know where this journey is taking us…but i do hope you that you will consider hopping on and joining the adventure, we may take wrong turns, fall on our faces, and encounter obstacle after obstacle, but to the cynics we can say “at least we tried”.

Let us be Boons to each other, and specially to those who need us the most, let this Pandemic that has taken so much from us, give us back joy and heart.
