'I AM PAKISTANI' was a project of PYO which we implemented in the form of creating a small video regarding portraying some of the bright sides of Pakistan in Calgary, Canada in 2010. The video can be viewed by the following link:
We are taking this project to a next level of creating a documentary in the northern areas of Pakistan in the upcoming summer of 2011, and decided to name this project as 'I AM PAKISTANI AND THIS IS MY PAKISTAN'. In the documentary, we would like to expose the 'Real Pakistan' by showing the hidden beauty of the northern areas, the rich culture, and the hospitality of the people of Pakistan. In today's media, only the bleak side of 'extremism' and 'terrorism' in Pakistan is being portrayed, which is a repercussion of the very fringe 'mind-washed' elements of our society. However, a general Pakistani is an open minded, generous, and a peace-lover element of this patriotic society.
Therefore, there is a greater need to come together and bring forward the brighter picture of Pakistan which is hidden from the world today. In this project, you can contribute in the following ways:
1-Contribute by donating or raising funds(we can provide you a prepared sponsorship proposal)
2-If you think you have video making, graphics, or editing skills, or if you know someone who can contribute in this regard.
3-If you know any related people in the northern areas in particular and in Pakistan in general who you think can be lucrative in carrying out this task more effectively.
4-If you know any media related people who you think can be assisting in exposing this initiative, that would help as well.
Then, send an email at: sheraz.khan@pyo.org.pk
We hope that the energetic yougsters of Pakistan are a glittering hope towards contributing something positive for this 'land of pure'. It is rightly said:
'Most of us will never do great things;
But we can do small things in a great way'
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has"
-Margaret Mead
