i feel proud to be a part of olasyar.its doing such a great job. i think we all should join hands together to help these displaced people.
I am really impressed to see the philanthropism and resilience of the common people of my homeland in recent history. Despite the failure of successive governments, exploitation at the hands of corrupt political elite and a dysfunctional corrupt public sector bureaucracy, the people have helped themselves and their fellow human being s. The voluntary sector has really rose to the ocean to channelize these collective efforts to handle some of the history’s worst crises brought by war and natural disasters in a very short span of time. Olasyar seem to be one such noble effort.
My ancestral village is not located between Mardan and Swat so my own family has been actively involved in resettling the displaced people from the neighbouring districts in both of the recent crises. Living abroad one naturally feels moved by the plight of the people back home and feel s obliged to all those who help and give us hopes. One of my acquaintances is the founder director of a very good charitable organisation (Maulana Qasim of Alkahair Foundation UK) that has done a really good job in Nowshehra, Charsadda and Mardan recently and on his return he shared my views that mashallah we have a lot to celebrate even at the most difficult time of our history-
Thanks Olasyar and Keep on the Good Work:)
