“This is to certify that I have known Mr. Sajid Ishaq Sandhu since 1995 when I was the Director of Christian Study Centre Rawalpindi, Pakistan. This Centre is a renowned Academic Institute known for its work for promoting interfaith harmony, human rights concerns and democratic values around the world. I worked at this Centre for seventeen years as a staff member and later as the Director from (1984-2001).

Sajid has a heart for building peace, justice and equality in the society and always stands on the side of the weak and vulnerable. He is a great promoter of human rights and democratic norms. I found him to be a very visionary, dedicated, honest, hardworking, committed, and friendly young man.

Under his extemporary leadership and exceptional planning skills, Sajid executed and successfully completed various community development projects including Micro-Finance for small business owners to start and expand their small enterprises. Through his untiring efforts thousands of individuals benefited and were enabled to sustain their livelihood.

He also played an effective role in bridging the gap between the unemployed and the potential employers by creating awareness about job opportunities for jobseekers and equipping them with work ethics training, which not only helped the employers to hire trained staff but also helped workers to retain their jobs by demonstrating professional work ethics at their workplaces.
Sajid is among one of the very few Christians in Pakistan who attained higher education and maintained a position among influential Christian leaders. He is well respected among his peers, Church leadership, civil society organizations, political arena, and interfaith communities. He is one of the prominent interfaith leaders whose opinion matters on social and faith-based issues in Pakistan.”
