I am from Pakistan, a country
which I believe is very much known to you all because of the stereotypes
attached to it. It is a country where everybody more or less is crazy about
getting education but due to fewer opportunities and more challenges, most of
the children are unable to make their dreams come true. I have to say it with a
big sorrow that my country people are known worldwide and specially in the
western world as extremists; but I would like to tell you that this is never
true. There is a very small segment of people who are extreme in one way or the
other but you cannot and should not give a generalized opinion.
We Pakistanis are peace loving people and we love education and we want to get
equal educational opportunities to come up to the level of the developed
countries.
I would like to put my request forward to the international community to play
their role towards providing educational opportunities to the children of my
country so we could be able to eliminate the extremism from small segment that
exists in my country.
