I just saw this man, Ijaz Ahmed today at the Manila Zoo, and yes, they are really raising funds there and I believe that what they are doing is not a scam because if you'll look at the man, you would come to realize that it must have been hard for him to be at his height even though he must be used to it because he is one of the rarest person on earth and to tell you the truth, "IT IS NOT THAT EASY BEING TALL, AND WHAT MORE IF YOU ARE AS TALL AS IJAZ AHMED right?! So I guess we can help this man to the best we could as an INDIVIDUAL or as a POWERFUL GROUP or something... And regardless of its nationality or race, he is still a human being seeking for help and support among his fellow human beings...
