Using Voice over IP to Make Song Videos to Teach Urdu for Children
Our next song we hope to translate and sing is "Three Blind Mice." We started working on the new one by using Skype, GTalk, Super Technologies' Virtual Phone Line service, and Vopium (for communication between time zones that are ten hours apart.) bBut for now, we hope you will enjoy learning to sing the English nursery rhymes of "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes," "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Skiddamarinkadinkadink, I love you." Momina is the bright young lady in charge here!

Street Kids of Pakistan, an Act of Love by Ozair Rao and others
Ozair, thank you for sharing this story. It sounds like some of mine when I taught at George W. Carver Middle School in Century, FL. I hope you don't mind that share the mission of "street kids of Pakistan" and your recent letter with the world here on my blog.
Mission:
did u guys know? a child's basic need is to atleast have a glass of milk every day, not so suprisingly our steet kids have grown other needs, such as "samad bond"(glue sniffing), ciggrettes, "churs" (weed) etc..
many of these kids are either runaways, kicked out of the house, born to beggars, born to women in our prisons. what is a woman in our society to do if left out on the streets with their kids after serving their yrs in prison...wud YOU give them work?? then who will and who should? ..the govt should! every country has a ministry for children as operational departments of their goverments..
we have thousands of ngo's but only a handful are actually using those donations to help out the street children of pakistan.. guys this is our governments duty to actually do something about these kids, open up a ministry open up schools, open up shelters, educate them, vaccinate them, save them from street abuse, save them from aids and other deadly diseases...
is this the future of our country? ...join this group only if u r willing to make a difference..guys we want to take this to the supreme court asap as a suo moto (public interest) case, so sign up and lets spread some awareness...
btw if u get time watch the documentary made by the dawn news features staff on street kids, its called equinox.
