In this age of social media one man from New York has made a unique name for himself. He created a Facebook page and titled it ‘Humans of New York”. He travels throughout the world and posts images and short stories of the countries he visits and the people he meets. These photos and stories are attracting the attention of thousands of people around the world. Brandon Stanton has been visiting Pakistan since July, 29[SUP]th[/SUP]. What’s amazing are the responses and feedback he is getting from people regarding Pakistan and his journey. Here are some of the comments he has received:
Janine Keller: “Thank you for showing the beauty of Pakistan. Lived there years ago, and it holds a special place in my heart.”
Blaine Butenhoff: “These stories make me want to visit Pakistan! Thanks HONY!”
Sue Bernhardt: “I get goose bumps reading all the comments from Pakistanis here saying that HONY manages to show what Pakistan is to them…Goes to show that it takes nothing more than a kind heart and open mind to capture the spirit of a country and its people…Oh and the photos make me want to visit Pakistan of course.”
Stephanie Safholm: “I am really enjoying getting to know the people of Pakistan through your posts. You are doing an amazing job presenting humanity to all of us.”
It is nice to people around the world now have an opportunity to see a different side of Pakistan which very few people get to see these days.
