**P&G thanks Pakistani moms and commits to help raise future Olympians

**Karachi—Procter & Gamble Pakistan initiated an innovative movement in Pakistan titled ‘Thank You Maa’ recognizing the important roles moms play in helping their children achieve their dreams and ambitions.
In line with the global partnership between P&G and the International Olympic Committee, P&G also announced its commitment to promote the spirit of sports and Olympic Games amongst the youth globally and in Pakistan.
P&G announced that via this campaign, it will provide Pakistani mothers the opportunity to raise future Olympic athletes from Pakistan. On the purchase of every P&G product including Safeguard, Pampers, Ariel, Pantene, Head & Shoulders and Always a contribution will be made towards the development of sporting facilities in schools across Pakistan.
It was estimated that in its first year thousands of children will use the facilities and equipment which will be handed out.
P&G will not only support moms of Olympians in Pakistan, via this initiative, but will also support moms outside the Olympic Games community by helping those whom moms care about the most…their children. Sports play an important role in the development of children keeping them off streets and providing structure and discipline that helps them succeed in life. P&G is committed to helping moms fulfill their aspiration of raising healthykids by supporting youth sports.
“As a company, we will serve as the ‘Proud Sponsor of Moms,’ and pay tribute to the mothers of athletes, because behind every amazing athlete – elite or beginner – is an even more amazing mother,” said Faisal Sabzwari, Country Manager, P&G Pakistan.
“For P&G, this partnership is about bringing together our Purpose of improving people’s lives and the Olympic Movement purpose of building a better world through sport

**A foreigner’s love for Pakistan

My exposure to Pakistan was limited. I classified it as one of those countries that was created on religious concepts, was racist toward the rest of the world and wanted the Americans dead.
**
Call me ignorant, but with the way Pakistan is portrayed in the media, as a foreigner it is hard not to be deterred.
Then, by sheer luck and forged destiny, I met a Pakistani woman and fell truly, madly and deeply in love with her.
There was beauty resonating from deep within her and it came out in her dark, soulful eyes.

Little did I know, that in less than a few weeks, my entire life would change because I was not only falling in love with a person but I was embracing a culture, a lifestyle and above all I was going to embrace a country deemed one of the most dangerous in the world.
The first aspect of Pakistani culture*(http://tribune.com.pk/story/368356/in-lahore-a-food-lovers-guide/). There is nothing in this world that can come close to the comfort provided by haleem, nihari and a warm, buttery piece of naan.

**What shocked me most about Pakistan’s people were its women.
I was always under the impression that most Pakistani women succumb to marriages arranged by their parents, come out to Canada to get away from extremely conservative and patriarchal settings while the ones left behind live under a staunch code of dressing without the ability to truly enjoy themselves and the world they are living in.
On the flip side, I have come across intelligent, smart, ambitious, and sagacious, not to mention confident and beautiful women who believe in themselves and have utmost faith in their country despite all the crime that is committed against women there.
Pakistani women are entering all kinds of fields may it be journalism, politics or filmmaking.
They are curious and eager to bring a change into their country through education and reform. It is inspiring to meet and be in the company of these visionaries, my future wife included, who is charitable and generous toward her community in the most humbling of ways.

What I have learnt from this experience is that judgement cannot be passed on a country, religion, culture or group of people through biased exposure to news reports or because of the actions of a select few.
To attain the bigger picture you have to immerse yourself into their culture, like I have, and then form conclusions.
As far as I am concerned, I have no doubt that when I do visit Pakistan, which will be soon, I will go with an open mind sans fear.
I know I will be welcomed in the most hospitable fashion and I cannot wait to see the beautiful country with my own eyes rather than through documentaries, films, photographs and literature.
