A friend asked Nasser to deliver an antique violin to a man in Los Angeles when he flew home from a trip to New York. He found it annoying to have this chore and burdensome to arrange a meeting to deliver the violin. But Nasser completed the task and was delighted with who he met. The violin’s new owner is Ali Esmahilzada.

Prior to the Taliban reconquest of Afghanistan in 2021, Esmahilzada was a famous musician in his own country. But the Taliban hates music and forced to Esmahilzada to flee for his life. Nasser found him working part-time in a shopping mall warehouse.

You can read Esmahilzada’s story and how Nasser helped him here.
