ENGINEERS FOR CHANGE


Hi,

Assalamualikum, Shalom, Namastae and Good Morning(If you can see the morning sun outside your window)

I have been traveling around the world ever since my parents stopped giving me money and its been a good revelation how we all are so different yet we cannot live without each other.

I had this crude idea of what it would be, if we all can get together from different parts of the world and manage to drive through the most remote part of the world, stay there for a while, build something for the population, which they cannot afford or access(by pulling in our money) and come back with a sense of satisfaction.

If there are anybody out there who think that this might work, log on to my blog and share your ideas.

Lets do something for a change (ofcourse Obama inspired) and let it be a good one.

Cheers

Naveed Nawaz
