Dallas, Texas – April 22, 2009: Shehzad Roy, renowned Pakistani pop singer and philanthropist has taken the initiative to facilitate a change in Pakistan through education for every Pakistani child. “That’s one small step for a child; a giant leap for Pakistan" just as Neil Armstrong stepped on moon at 2:56 on July 21, 1969 and made that famous statement, “that's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind".

The world is not the same since then: we have witnessed the emergence of information technology and electronic communications changing the way we live today.

However, statistics show that millions of Pakistani children are deprived of the basic necessities of life and have to fend for themselves. They are forced to handle the responsibilities of adults before their minds and bodies mature, thus robbing them of their childhood. More than 50% of the population is illiterate and millions below the age of 15 are trapped in child labor to support their families.

Zindagi Trust was established by Shehzad Roy in March 2002 with the vision of providing quality education to the underprivileged-working children of Pakistan, thus consciously creating a civil society to live and let live. It is a non-profit 501 [c] 3 organization. Its purpose is to research and find solutions pertaining to Child Labor, Mother Child Health Care, and Women’s' /Girls' Education issues in Pakistan.

Shehzad Roy’s brainchild, Zindagi Trust, has started an innovative program to eliminate child labor in Pakistan. The “I am paid to learn” program takes working children off the streets and pays them to go to school. Since its inception, 34 schools are in operation with 5300 students supported. “Be my buddy” program was created to sponsor the educational expenses of an assigned Zindagi trust student. For those who want to serve on a larger altruistic level, they can Sponsor a School. Please visit the website www.Zindagitrust.org for details.

As Americans, we could become a catalyst for a positive change by laying foundations for great societies based on education, understanding and cooperation. Our investment in education would yield far greater results in a generation or two than the monies poured into short-term non-sustainable results. It is a change every one dreams about.

Please join Shehzad Roy by participating and supporting the change that you want to make happen for Pakistan.

Roy’s fundraiser will be held on May 9th at the DoubleTree Hotel Dallas (Galleria) at 7pm. Tickets are $75.00 per person and are available on-line at http://zindagitrustdallas.eventbrite.com/
