Said the child with tears...



"Early in the morning my mother gave me these eggs to sell them in the street in order to buy food. It was too cold to hold these in my frozen hands.
The eggs were supposed to help us survive, but I do not know how I am going to be back like this..." the child said crying...

Tell me why...






In my dream, children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green:
And laughter is the language of the world

Then I wake and all I see
Is a world full of people in need

Tell me why does it have to be like this?
Tell me why is there something I have missed?
Tell me why cause I don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand Tell me why?

Everyday I ask myself
What will I have to do to be a man?
Do I have to stand and fight
To prove to everybody who I am?
Is that what my life is for
To waste in a world full of war?

Tell me why? Tell me why?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Just tell me why, why, why?

Tell me why does the tiger run
Tell me why do we shoot the gun
Tell me why do we never learn
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
Why do we say we care?

Tell me why do we stand and stare
Tell me why do the dolphins cry
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die?
Why if we're all the same

Tell me why do we pass the blame
Tell me why does it never end
Can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?

An Exciting Moment ...



We hope everything is great in your life; you're healthy, happy, and successful. Recently, we have initiated an exciting project: sponsoring a series of Konkoor courses for talented students from underprivileged families (mostly from rural areas). The classes will be held in one of high schools in Birjand. It costs only $20 to sponsor one student, much less that what many of us spend in a grocery or on a movie night. Contact us with the amount of your contribution and we'll charge you for that!
Many thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

The light of hope...



And those who bring the light of hope into the hearts of the people in need, how can be away of that light inside their own souls?

And it is written on the gates of heaven...



بهشت عدل را مکتوب نغزیست
به خط کاتب تقدیر بر در
که پاداش تصدق ها و خیرات
بود در نزد یزدان ده برابر
ولی گر قرض دادی بنده ای را
شود پاداش ان هجده برابر
سزاوار است تا نیکان نویسند
به لوح خاطر خود با خط زر
کلام اینسان و لطف دوست آنسان
معمایی بود الله اکبر

[Persian poem, courtesy of Mr. Ghaemi]

In the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful



In the name of the most merciful, the most powerful, the most beautiful and the most adorable...
The only support of the people in need and the only brave bright light of hope in the hearts of the disappointed...
In the name of him, with the help of him...Let this be the first post of Mehrjouyan Group ...
