About the organization: Founded in 2007, The Diamond Empowerment Fund™ (D.E.F.) is a non-profit international organization with the mission to raise money to support education initiatives that develop and empower economically disadvantaged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource.

Established by individuals and businesses in the diamond and jewelry industries and others who are committed to the empowerment of Africa, we believe education is one of the most critical elements that powers society and empowers individuals to realize their full human potential. D.E.F. endeavors to partner with African education organizations that have a proven methodology for helping young people achieve success through self-determination, focus, and opportunity.

What is the Partnership Walk?

Partnership Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. (AKF USA) and its volunteers in communities across America to raise funds and awareness to help communities in some of the poorest areas of Africa and Asia create long-term solutions to poverty.

Since 1995, 40 Walks have been held in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles, attracting 239,000 participants and raising $28 million. In 2007, 27,500 Walkers in 5 cities raised $2 million to bring a spark of hope to vulnerable families in Africa and Asia. 100% of the funds raised at Partnership Walk go directly to projects supported by the Foundation. Partnership Walk is a public event to raise awareness about how people can make a difference in ending global poverty. It promotes partnerships among Americans and people in the developing world.

Hakim Sons Films – reviews by brides on mart...

So people are always asking professionals/artists, if they have any testimonials to share from their past clients. Well, one of our strategies has been to always get feedback from our past clients after they have had a chance to view the cinematic rendition of their day. So, now I want to take a minute to share some of these reviews/testimonials with you. Read on to see what brides are saying about our services…

I would absolutely recommend Hakim & Sons Videography for videography! Shezad and his staff was so professional, you barely knew they were there. We were very appreciative the staff was everywhere yet somehow unseen at the same time.

The best part is when we saw the video it was more than we ever imagined! We watched the video and said “was that OUR wedding?!” I saw people I didn’t remember seeing that nights, moments my hubby and I missed and the most part was able to have these live memories for the rest of our lives. The video quality along with edits were extremely innovative and creative. In fact several of my friends and family purchased the video to share with friends.

As a planner and as a bride, Hakim & Sons are the best you can find!

I found Hakim & Sons Videography through one of my bridesmaids who had him film her wedding. They did an amazing job capturing all the events of our day. The video is breathtaking! I’m not sure hollywood could have done a better job. The artistic editing made the video fun to watch, stylish, and beautiful. Shezad really captured the elegance of our ceremony and all of the special moments before, after and during the ceremony. My parents (who were against the idea of having a videographer) and I agree that the video was the most special thing that we have to remember from the wedding. Hakim and Sons were also extremely professional and did a great job of being unobtrusive. My husband and I couldn’t be happier and are delighted that we chose Hakim and Sons for our special day.

We highly recommend Hakim Sons Films. We were fortunate enough to work with such a talented videographer, Shezad Manjee, who created a beautiful and artistic wedding video for us. Our memorable and meaningful elements were completely captured. The video quality and music selection were exceptional. Shezad and team were prompt in making our minor modifications and we received our final DVDs in a timely manner. We completely enjoyed working with such an excellent team.

Hakim Sons Films is absolutely amazing! Shezad was so great to work with, he’s warm, humble and great at what he does. Every single time we watch our wedding film we feel as if we were re-living our wedding day all over again. We cry, we laugh, it just brings you right back to that beautiful day.
The film is such a perfect memory to a perfect day!
