Assalamu Alaikum!

Thank you for visiting HDF booth at ISNA's Islamic convention last weekend. Thousands of Muslims, Pakistanis and non-Pakistanis stopped by our booth, picked up the free flag of Pakistan with YesPakistan.com written on it. We have hundreds of volunteer forms that we are processing at this moment. We will contact you soon. Until then please accept the sincere thanks from the volunteers of HDF for this overwhelming response to our mission of helping people help themselves.

Today is what Pakistanis celebrate as Defense Day. It is more like a Memorial Day when Pakistanis remember how Pakistanis stood united in 1965 against the Indian aggression. We have several articles in this newsletter about one of its heroes M. M. Alam and about Pakistan's defense.

We have an excellent story of a lady doctor who served refugees in 1947. Now in her seventies, she believes that it is not enough for Pakistanis in America to give money to good projects in Pakistan. She wants Pakistanis to volunteer time in those projects as well.

Please forward this newsletter to all those who care for Pakistan.

Thanks.
The YesPakistan team
 

*~*~*~ EDUCATION IS THE BEST DEFENSE:
Guns don't defend a country, people do. An educated Pakistani is more useful as farmer, citizen and soldier than an uneducated one.
