I am PROUD of Ali Zafar, and anybody who has a heart ought to be proud
of him. And not just him, but everybody who have come together to heal just a
little of the pain of the lives lost by giving hope in form of schools – a step
towards positivity, towards development, for the future of young children.
Be forewarned, that this is not about India or Pakistan. Not about White
or Brown skin. It is just about loss of lives. It is about humanity. About how
some stand up and do what can be done within their powers in order to make a
dent. Therefore, discard all the filth
that politics has drummed into your head, because at our barest best, we are each
connected to each other by humanity, and not by skin tone, or the holy books we
follow.
We need more like him to give this world some love and
some direction. We need more of him in India, and the whole wide world. We need
more of him!
I am posting Ali's message here, and the relevant links.
When you can support Unicef, UNHCR, or whatever you choose to support, then please
do what you think you can for the development of education.
Ali's message on Facebook:
A year has passed but the grief hasn't subsided a
bit.. We will always mourn the loss of those innocent children who were taken
away from us exactly a year ago.
That's when the 'The Citizens Foundation' launched the '141 Schools for
Peace' initiative which was also supported by my tribute song 'Urainge' for the
APS Martyrs. This mission committed to build a school in the memory of each of
the innocent lives lost and thanks to all the incredible support from all over
the world, this dream is closer to becoming a reality. We are pleased to
announce that TCF has so far constructed 23 schools before the first
anniversary of this tragic incident. These schools will stand as a lasting
symbol of hope, resilience and our shared resolve to educate all children of
Pakistan. I urge you to keep donating so we reach our target. Share this post
