During her interaction with students at LUMS, Naila Kiani said, “I am taking on the challenge to inspire youth and women at midlife to overcome all their fears and hurdles and let themselves experience the joy of liberation it can bring. It was not an easy job to train for this challenge while having to live away from my young daughters for so many days. But one thing that kept me motivated in the freezing mountains was the ambition that I had to prove to myself and to other struggling women that it is always possible to push outside of your comfort zone, no matter how massive or minute the challenge”.

Through this campaign, BARD foundation and Naila Kiani have highlighted an important aspect that passion and ambition are not restricted by age and ability level but are only determined through willpower and resolve. To hold these sessions in universities, it is aimed at encouraging the youth to live their passions fearlessly and not underestimate their potential to ace in respective fields. These inspirational sessions lead youth to discover a sense of adventure within themselves that helps to rediscover their identity in the outer world.
