Urdu 2 - Are you, your own Messiah? اپنا مسيحا آپ ھو؟ بات کرونا

Baat Coron - Lets Talk

This will be a weekly program beginning during the Corona Virus Quarantine. I do plan to continue it after we are Inshaa Allah - God Willing out of this current self quarantine times. This program will be in Urdu and in English.

I feel privileged and honored to have become good friends with Quratulain Bakhteari, a dynamic and charismatic personality full of energy and joy.

Quratul Ain wants to transform the approach to educating people whose job it is to articulate and act on the needs of local communities. She wants to move the field to more in-depth analysis of local community needs and away from the top-down, donor driven orientation that characterizes too much of the preparation for community work offered by Pakistan's schools

The provincial government has given her a former school and surrounding land to use, on the basis of QuratulAin's success in dramatically increasing female literacy in the province in the past. QuratulAin believes that, to be successful, the people she trains have to share common philosophical underpinnings and a willingness to dedicate their lives to the service of their communities.

By living in relatively spartan conditions and by teaching students to understand the communities and not want for their physical and emotional needs while undertaking this important work, QuratulAin believes that a new generation of community development professionals can be properly trained to be creative and courageous in articulating and fulfilling the needs of their communities. QuratulAin sees each graduate of her courses as a member of a broader fellowship of properly oriented community professionals.
