  1. Long Live the Immat of H.H. Prince Karim Aga Khan. The world must wake up and recognize his Humaitarian Projects along with his Community’s support as well. He is not an Entrepreneur as the world has pictured him. Prince Karim Aga Khan is a Peace Maker
    and Life Saver for less fortunate around the world irrespective of the Faith- whether Hindu, Christian Jew or Muslim. His Institution does not see any Boundary. The reporter’s initiative is an EYE OPENER for the people around the world about the Aga Khan Foundation and Aga Khan Development Network.

  2. I am long impressed with the quiet peacemaking of the Prince Karim Aga Khan. We hear far too little of this work, and far too much of less worthy things. Long live the Aga Khan.

  3. Aren’t they all our children?… I read this somewhere and so let me share with you all…

    I think that this is one of the great questions of our age. Aren’t they all
    our children? It is a question that deserves an answer.

    Aren’t they all our children? Those who live under our roof and those
    who reside with another family? Those to whom we are related as well
    as those whom we have never known?

    Aren’t they all our children? Those on our side of the border as well as
    those on the other side? Those of our nation no more or less than those of another?

    Aren’t they all our children? Those who worship like us and those who
    worship differently? Those who look like us and those who do not?

    Aren’t they all our children? The well-educated and the under-educated? The well-fed and the under-fed? Those who are secure and those who are at risk?

    Aren’t they all our children? The highly valued and highly esteemed as
    well as the castaways and the lost?

    Aren’t they all our children? Aren’t they all our responsibility? ALL of
    them? Ours to nurture? Ours to protect? Ours to love?

    I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that the survival of our
    world hinges on the answer to that question.

    To say they are NOT all our children is to condemn the world to more
    struggle – family against family, group against group, nation against nation.

    Aren’t they all our children? If we say yes, can we ever again pit them
    against each other? “If we have no peace,” said Mother Teresa,
    “it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

    Aren’t they all our children?

    There may be no greater question for our generation. And how we answer that question will determine the shape of our world for years to come….

    AKDN is doing a great job ! those who are against are those who would wish that their own leaders would do the same….but then the Aga Khan is the Aga Khan, after all !
