Social activism, or civil society, is shaped by embedding values in the people that are part of the society and who will take up responsibility for that society.

4 Months and 1 week ago I left Karachi to begin a tour of Asia in hopes of learning and experiencing different sustainability initiatives, and to inspire some kids.

Here are the results:


Article Current
DAMU presentations to date: 15
Total attendance in presentations: 2100
Total expenditure to date:  ($900USD)
Student debt owed during this time period ($1200USD)
Total: ($2100USD)
Project subsidy:(for 2  months) $80USD
Donations received: (Thank you!) $275USD
Total: $355USD

As I return to to the cold Canadian climate, I do so with a lot of experience and networks under my belt.

In the coming weeks you will find a new site up and running, devoted more to my personal journey in sustainability.

Keep checking back as more photo albums, articles and results will be posted.

Have a happy new year!
