ABOUT US
Mr Omer Faruk Atcha
Founder and President
Advanced Knowlege Academy
Mr Omer Faruk Atcha is the founder of Advanced Knowledge Academy. He was born in 1950, and migrated to Canada in 1972 at the very young age of 22 years old. He was the first person from the village of Barbodhan to ever migrate to a different country during this era. Due to the lack of financial arrangements, he could not complete his education. In spite of this adverse circumstance, Mr Omar Faruk Atcha, being a vibrant and energetic person, has always strongly emphasized the importance of education to his peers, acquaintances and family including all his nephews and nieces. Aiming for and achieving a higher education is a must for every person..
"I have always wished that every child should receive a proper education. My goal is to start with 20 needy and orphaned children from our own village instead of giving charity to others. First we must think of our own. [According to Qur'an]. My philosophy is "it is worth feeding one bucket of water to a single plant than feeding the whole lawn with one bucket". My role model is Sir Syed Ahmed Khan [rah] who during the late 1900, founded the first Muslim University in the subcontinent for Muslims. Later on, students from that university went on to create Pakistan. Other "future projects" for Advanced Knowledge Academy solely depends on financially support. My future plan is to arrange a soccer team for the students and I also intend on offering a free eye clinic for the needy people. We will be providing consulting services to the students to convince them not to drop out of school and to help guide them through learning a variety of skills in the future"
