Arfa Karim microsoft
Arfa Karim Randhawa is the youngest microsoft certified professional and belongs to Pakistan and was certified at the age of “9″.
She is right now in the hospital and doctors are trying as much as they can to save her.
Arfa Karim was admitted to the hospital due to cardiac arrest (heart attack in general terms).
However, doctors have given up hope for the survival for the young genius and machines can be turned off soon.
Any how, we might still have some time to pray for her health and life, and if not, then her life after death and for her forgiveness.
She was an asset not only to her family and Pakistan, but also to the world.
P.S media coverage isn’t allowed by the family right now, that’s why you won’t find updates on media probably.
