When Kevin Khazen arrived in Australia from Lebanon as a 15-year-old boy in 1950, he had nothing but the clothes he was wearing.

Five decades on, after a bout of ill health, the much-loved Dalby tailor decided to retire, closing the door of his menswear shop for the last time.

But not before he donated a staggering 6000 items of clothing to a Brisbane group providing pro bono medical services to refugees and asylum seekers, asking that his stock be passed on to refugees who needed quality workwear to start their new lives.

This week, World Wellness Group, which runs the World Wellness Health and Medical Clinic at Stones Corner, was thrilled to receive the generous donation.
