“As health professionals, we are able to give back to the communities in which we live, as well as the world at large,” says Dr. Ebrahim. It is a sentiment she holds dear, and in May of this year, it will take her to Level 1 Base Camp of Mt. Everest (18,500 ft) with a mission to promote and support community-based education, especially for girls, in remote, underserviced and war stricken areas of Northern Pakistan.
“The education of our children is the best hope we have for a peaceful and prosperous world,” says Dr. Ebrahim, who in 2006 climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital, and in 2002, travelled to Tibet to provide free medical service to the eastern nomads.
As of January, 2009, Dr. Ebrahim has pledged to donate 2 percent of Afterglow profits to the non-profit Central Asia Institute. (If you have undergone a rejuvenation procedure with us in the past 15 or so months, part of your payment will be directed to this noble cause…)
Afterglow has been featured in the March 2010 issue of Fashion Magazine. Here’s what they have to say about us:
Beautiful Lips Package: It’s kissing time again! With all the new spring lip colours on drugstore shelves, many of us are wondering how we can make our lips look plumper and more youthful.
Laser Hair-removal Package: If facial or body hair is getting the better of you and you are tired of reaching for your razor, tweezers, depilatory, or waxing kit, a Laser Hair Removal treatment at Afterglow could well be the answer…
