Expatriates Are Making A Differnce In Pakistan. So Can You. Visit Pakistan With An Open Mind And Be Surprised
My glass is always half full. I visit Pakistan every 6 months and every time see sufficient signs of improvement in all major cities. Most Top Managers in Government and Private Sectors, Industrialists are now Foreign Educated Professional Expatriates as a result of the Brain Drain reversal that started almost 10 years ago.
Did you know that every $50 - $70 / month skilled or unskilled urban sector job you help create starts feeding a family of 9 to 10 people and creates an economic ripple in 50-100 people? I have created 130 such jobs till today and many more in the coming months and years. These 130 urban jobs are now providing hope and sustainable basic living to about 1300 people and causing an economic ripple in almost 13,000. Guess what effect it will have in Pakistan if 100,000 Pakistani Professional Expatriates in the Rich West helped create 1 job each. You can do the Math.
