When hundreds of young students were massacred by terrorists, Nawaz was lucky enough to survive the deadly attack at APS in December 2014. Having given speeches as key note speaker at United Nations and attending conferences of the Nobel Prize laureates, he has also served as an ambassador to organizations such as World Merit, Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS) and Oxford Fund.
