What's on
Gore Library is thrilled to welcome Bariz Shah for the first time.
Wednesday 20 November, 6:00pm - 7:30pm.
As an Afghan migrant navigating life in a post-9/11 world, Bariz faced struggles with identity that led him into crime and addiction. His time in prison sparked a turning point, inspiring him to reevaluate his life.
After the tragic terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch that resulted in the loss of 51 lives, Bariz and his wife Saba channeled their grief into action. They successfully raised funds to create 51 small businesses in memory of the victims, demonstrating the profound difference one can make in the face of tragedy.
Join us to hear his inspiring journey of resilience and purpose. Free to attend. No bookings required.
