Boimah Cooper Memorial Fund
Abdul Hafiz is a Law and Government student
attending Susan E. Wagner High School in Staten Island, NY. He is involved with numerous
community projects and has received countless awards and media recognition
for his efforts. After the accidental death of Abdul's baby brother Ibrahim,
who fell from a fire escape window, Abdul, his teacher, and class have led
a crusade to push for the passage of safety legislation to prevent this
tragedy from happening to any other families. See www.ps57gates.com
In addition to volunteering at Eibs Pond Park since second grade with his teacher,
Abdul also contributed his Volvo for Life youth hero award winnings to
improve the park. See www.eibspond.com.
After these accomplishments, Abdul became involved with humanitarian relief efforts in Liberia and then Peru.
He continues to work on the development of the Boimah Cooper Memorial Fund NYC non-profit with his former
2nd grade teacher, Ms. Lockhart. Abdul not only packs all the boxes to ship to Liberia but assisted with the
care of little Boimah during his stay in the US. Abdul treated little Boimah as his own brother,
