“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” I must confess that when I first read this famous quote by Margaret Mead, I dismissed it as an idealistic, almost bookish notion to sell fairy-tale hope to helpless masses. Growing up in Pakistan, even little issues like broken a sewage system or lack of potable water in my neighborhood, seemed like unsurmountable challenges. Governments have come and gone, politicians have made hollowed promises, social activists have raised their voice, but even the tiniest of these perennial challenges remained unaddressed.

Instead of wanting to take ownership of the water filtration plant in the neighborhood, I am comfortable with … [Read more...] about Milkar: A Clarion Call for Community Service

Order of Service for the funeral of Prince Philip released: ‘fortitude and faith’ to be remembered
Prince Philip will be remembered as a man of “courage, fortitude and faith” at a martial but also personal funeral that will mark the death of a royal patriarch who was a beloved husband and father, and one of a dwindling number of World War II veterans. Hymns and music during Saturday’s funeral at Windsor Castle will reflect Philip’s military ties and wartime service in the Royal Navy, as well as his more than seven decades of support for his wife, Queen Elizabeth II. Philip died April 9 at the age of 99 after 73 years of marriage. Coronavirus restrictions mean that instead of the 800 mourners included in the longstanding plans for his funeral, there will be only 30 inside St. George’s Chapel , including the widowed queen, her four children and eight grandchildren.
