Subject: Your support for those who sacrifices their lives for Global Peace to make world better risk free place
Dear Friends,
My name is Asadullah Khan, having Master in Economics working as Budget Consultant with USAID | Ministry of Labor Affairs Kabul Afghanistan. When I join ACUMEN FUND’s Community it was really something very nice and helpful for me. I am currently working voluntarily with many organizations in Pakistan and Afghanistan to support their projects targeting Afghans. Ideas are changing positively on continuously basis, As international community & United States supporting and taking active role in the development of Afghanistan, and sacrifices their beloved lives to make sure peace and prosperity for their people, for Afghans and keep peace globally.
Therefore I am interested to take your support by keeping & supporting the families of US nationals who sacrifices their life in Afghanistan fighting against Terrorists and as well as those Afghans who left small children and wives without supporters.
I am in need of volunteers who can register ARAEP/SEDA a non for profit organization in the United States to foster the cooperation of US with Afghanistan and Pakistan at grass roots level and also support the vulnerable/poor, disabled children and women in Afghanistan and as well as Afghan women and children in Pakistan to be enable to return to their home land with technical education and skills.
In this regard I need your strong cooperation that how we can contribute jointly.
We are going to link International organizations/volunteers with Local organizations, for more information please visit our website NGO Resource Centre (www.ngorc.org.af) ..Coming soon
Looking for your urgent response.
