CEO Statement
Pakistan Emergency Response Learning Program is my attempt to bring about the Pakistan of my childhood. It was in that time through my schooling that I learned skills that taught me compassion, leadership and ways to become a model citizen. The extra-curricular activities that were part of the academics equipped me with the abilities that allowed me to be of assistance to my glorious nation of Pakistan.
I consider myself patriotic. I love my country but the truth remains that, over the years the citizens of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have lost their way. Time and generations have only managed to sow the seed of doubt, hatred, racism, extremism and terrorism in the people amongst one another. There is no patience or tolerance left in the masses towards one another. Due to the self- induced segregation that has also been passed down in the generations, people have learned to discriminate others through gender, culture, tongue, color, ethnicity, religion etc. Youngsters are now being taught to see and notice the difference between people, to discriminate against diversity, this teaches individuals that it is ok to hold a strong dislike against people different from them instead of understanding what makes them different, I am determined to change this mindset and eliminate extremism, hatred and terrorism from the people and from the future generations.
Pakistan Emergency Response Learning Program is an effort that would be carried on my many generations to come. Through the knowledge of civil defense we teach the youth life altering skills on unity, leadership, compassion, and sincerity that pay off every time boys and girls go out of their way to help complete strangers in dire need.
I believe that of we need to bring about a better Pakistan, we need to educate the children; after all, they are our future. Anything taught to them now would be implemented through their actions, ethics and morals throughout their life allowing them to have better judgment for themselves and others once they are in their professional lives. So why not sow seeds that are sure to bring about fruitful rewards for our mother land.
Pakistan Emergency Response Learning Program welcomes all those who understand and believe in Hakeem Saeed's motto ‘love Pakistan, Build Pakistan’. Anyone that wishes to contribute towards the betterment of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is forever welcome in through the doors of Pakistan Emergency Response Learning Program.
Sincerely
Ali Reza
