April 16, 2016
Prof. Peter was delighted to co­host a dinner in support of Namal College,
Pakistan, at the eponymous Nobu London in Old Park Lane on Saturday night.
Prof. Peter and fellow hosts, Mohammed Amersi, Amit Bhatia and Syed Bukhari
were joined by Imran Khan, former Capitan of the Pakistan Cricket Team, and the
Chairman and founder of Namal College, for an evening of wonderful food and
delightful company.

The select list of just 50 guests raised £150,000 in less than 3 hours, a fantastic
achievement that will help the college continue offering financial assistance to
undergraduates from rural and less privileged backgrounds.
Mr Imran Khan established Namal College in 2008 when he was awarded the
Chancellorship of the University of Bradford, with the aim to make quality higher
education available and affordable for the marginalised rural youth in the region.
Namal College is an associate college of the University of Bradford and now has
300 students studying for a University of Bradford degree for a fraction of what it
would cost to study at the University in the UK. Ninety percent of Namal College
students are provided with full or partial scholarships.
