Dear Colleague,
I take this opportunity to bring to your notice that I, Waheed Ahmad Advocate High Court Lahore and a Member of Executive committee of The Lahore High Court Bar Association and Member human rights committee of Lahore Bar Association.(2003-06)
I have the opportunity to represent Pakistan at various International Forums in different countries,

I have been dealing with cases of discrimination, stigmatization, and social/ professional injustices with different people including recently of HIV positive people. Because In Our Society They are considered very evil and Bad persons , because people do have one notion in their mind i.e. Sexual relationship , I have been trying to change their attitude. In Stead of Facing our hatred, They must be provided equal Opportunities in all Walks of Life.
I have Conducted lectures in Madrassas ( Islamic Religious School ) regarding HIV/AIDS, laws; occupational health and safety and protection of their fundamental rights.
I also worked for World Bank Group (International Finance Corporation) their assignment have been completed by me successfully, which has earned me great appreciation from the World Bank Group.

I shall be thankful if you please forward my Letter to any Organisation i will send you my C.v as soon as i get your e.mail.
If I am given the opportunity of joining you, I assure you that I will leave no stone unturned in working according to your manifesto. I will ever be ready to help and assist the needy and helpless, whenever I see the people in dire need of any assistance, my heart really aches and prompts me to go at once to stand by them.
I am sure that our mutual corporation would help us in the betterment of our mutual clients.

Theresa,
What is the Peace Registry you manage?
I like your profile! I'd like you to join me on mepeace.org,
a platform for peacemakers advancing Middle East peace.

Hi Alana -
Sorry for the delay in responding to your post. A lot of this social networking stuff is new to me. I have created the Peace Alliance group per your suggestion. Thanks!
Theresa
Dear Theresa,
Thank you for being a peace bridge between generations
Could you tell us more about the Peace Registry?
I would be very interested in learning more about where you live.
Peaceful blessings on this and everyday,
Christine

Hi Theresa,
I wonder if you would be interested in starting a Peace Alliance GROUP here? If so, I'll bring it to the front page. After Peace Day I hope to shine some attention on the PA/DoP and don't want to be starting more groups and forums myself - it's more powerful when it comes from members. What do you think? Love, Alana
Hello lovely,
I do remember you and your son quite well! I am very happy to find you here and look forward to staying in touch! Hope all is well with you and your family!
Sending you warm wishes from Sunny Florida,
Cynthia
I'm so happy to see you here! There are a number of people here who "should" be in the Peace Registry, if they are not already. I hope you'll have time to create a presence here and I will shine a light upon your page as you do.
One of the most important places is to use your "toolbox" on this page - which is what everyone sees first thing. Next, make Forum posts with a photo as those are distributed widely through "widgets." Next, make regular blog posts, as those get picked up by media feeds, looking for news. Let's feed 'em something yummy!
I hope you will meet Jeff Rudy and Dr. Christopher Daniels, among others....
