Founder’s Message:

I am grateful to God Almighty who gave me the wisdom and strength to initiate the challenging task of launching a grassroots level organization that could serve all segments of the Pakistani-American community. You will readily agree that in the post-9/11 period Pakistani Americans have felt the pressing need of having a representative and vibrant community organization that could air their views on various social, economic, and political issues impacting their life.
Such an organization could consistently work to dispel misperceptions about community members, their faith, and their country of origin. What is more, it could spotlight the multifarious accomplishments of Pakistani Americans so that they could be accorded recognition as useful members of the American society. The organization could thus serve as a bridge between Pakistani Americans and various ethnic groups and mainstream Americans. Friends of Pakistan has been set up with this explicit purpose in mind. It is the voice of the community. It is the voice of every Pakistani American.

America is our adopted country and we feel great affection for, and attachment to, this land. Ungrudgingly, the US has given us the opportunity to live freely and express our concerns without any reservations. It is our duty to serve this country to the best of our ability. Pakistani Americans are law-abiding citizens. They are well educated and enterprising and have already proved their worth as true achievers in this multi-ethnic society. In airing our concerns about issues that impact our life we will behave in a dignified and respectable manner at all levels of the American system.
I sincerely hope you will support Friends of Pakistan and give us a chance to serve you.
Sincerely yours,

Sarfaraz Khan
