Shahid Afridi thanks Harbhajan Singh for extending his support to SAF

Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi recently posted a very friendly message for Harbhajan Singh on micro blogging site Twitter. He thanked the veteran Indian cricketer for having extended his support to the Shahid Afridi Foundation. The SAF is a non-profit organization which was founded three years ago in 2014. The prime aim of the NGO is to provide the basic amenities to the underprivileged in Pakistan.

The key areas where it focuses on are healthcare, education, and sports facilities. Shahid Afridi, who is the main ambassador of Polio campaigns in Pakistan, has been into philanthropy for a long time. His foundation has already started a lot of projects in the country which includes hospitals in Kohat, a few water wells and hand pumps in the provinces of KPK and Sindh.

In addition to these, the foundation has done a lot for the children who are deprived of basic accesses in Pakistan. This includes supporting the schools, providing scholarships to the students. They are currently working towards raising funds for opening new hospitals and many other projects.

Apparently, veteran Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh caught up with Afridi and the two players seem to have shared some good time together. Also, the tweet from Afridi suggested that Harbhajan helped the SAF too. He mentioned that Harbhajan crossed all the physical boundaries for a peaceful and human cause to support SAF.

Here is the tweet

“Breaking all barriers,crossing all boundaries for love & peace & humanity. ThankU @harbhajan_singh for supporting @SAFoundationN #HopeNotOut,” Shahid Afridi tweeted.

Over the years, the fierce battle on the field that the players of  India and Pakistan have had is something that is often talked about. However, off the field, the players of the two countries are known to share great camaraderie. Afridi, in particular, has time and again quoted that he is good friends with most Indian cricketers – Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh always finding special mentions in his candid interviews.
