Abdul Sattar Edhi has spent his entire life in the service of humankind, without personal benefit or gain. He speaks out for the first time. Although he has buries over two hundred thousand unclaimed bodies in an era where altruism and selflessness are almost extinct, he looks back at his life with the humbleness that has become his most distinctive characteristic.

Abdul Sattar Edhi in his own words: "I had accepted at the outset that charity was distorted and completely unrelated to its original concept. Reverting to the ideal was like diverting an ocean of wild waters. Another major obstacle in the promotion of welfare was exposed...the disgust of man towards mankind. There was only one expression, one reaction from everyone...cringing.
