​HOW WE STARTED

“My eyes shed a tear after seeing something that I had never witnessed living in the United States.  As we drove towards east part of Karachi, Pakistan we came across a cluster of children playing in an open deserted field.  They were running around enjoying themselves and one child caught my eyes as we passed.  She was playing without shoes.  As a matter of fact, most of the kids were not wearing shoes. I mentioned it to my husband who was beside me in the car and to him this was a normal scene that they encounter every day. This was the norm for them but to me this made a great impact in my life & my perception towards the less fortunate.   At that moment I questioned myself, “What is my main purpose in life”? Is it to accrue wealth & fame?  What happens after I achieve wealth & fame?  Would I be satisfied spiritually?  Was I sent here for another purpose?  Trying to find answers to my questions I came to a conclusion that the principles of equality and justice in life only exist through our actions”.
