	Greeting of Peace from United Social Welfare Society, Pakistan an article by Stephin Rafiq We bring you greetings from the bottom of my heart.  Here we want to introduce our organization. We are leading an organization "USWS-PAK” For sometime now, precisely since 2001, We have been pioneering my foundation in different ways in southern Punjab Pakistan, Women seminar click on photo to enlarge USWS has now established strong roots in the community and has created a culture of participatory development among its target communities. To reduce poverty, injustice and miseries of the marginalized communities in its target areas, USWS is focusing on Youth, livelihood, Children Right and programs to promote the health of children, working in Punjab province. It's operating on humanitarian basis without any discrimination such as sex, caste, creed, sect, colour, or place of origin. The main objectives to focus on Christian youth belonging to marginalized groups in different part of Pakistan and empower them with skills and knowledge so that these trained youth become Peer Educator in their respective areas and promoting the message of peace, interfaith harmony, sectarian and ethnic tolerance amongst their peer groups. The project is much needed in Pakistan where there have been attacks on Churches, Temple, Mosques damaging life and property. The major damage was done by the forces/elements that fueled polarization and extremism. Some of recent cases are murder of the Governor of the Punjab Salman Taseer and subsequently kidnapping his son Shahbaz Taseer, Murder of famous Christian leader & Federal Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, Bishop John Joseph who proposed improvement on the blasphemy laws. The burning of villages in district Khanewal, Kasur, Gojra caused huge hue and cry across the country. The Sectarianism and ethnic killings in Pakistan especially in Gilgit (Gilgit Baltistan Province) and Karachi(Sindh Province) and recent incident of Joseph Colony Badami Bagh Lahore all these incidents have damaged harmony and peace in these areas. Gender bias especially bias against the females is also a very serious issue which has led to violence against women. We highly request you please provide us guidance our organization to provide the facilities to recommend other Donors & NGOS& Churches work the deserving people of the respective areas in Pakistan.  E-mail: usws_74pk@hotmail.com  Website: www.free webs.com/uswspakistan		DISCUSSION Question(s) related to this article: How can different faiths work together for understanding and harmony?, * * * * * Latest reader comment: This discussion question applies to the following articles: Creating Harmony in the World: Working through Our Faiths in Dialogue Alternate Focus: Balance in Media Coverage in Middle East The Parliament of the World's Religions (Barcelona, Spain) Asian Religious Leaders Urge Religions To Teach Peace Living Faiths Together – Tool kit on inter-religious dialogue in youth work Sharing the right to Jerusalem's past The Doha Pre-Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Peace For Childrens in Primary Schools in Iraq Dialogue in Nigeria --  a new DVD teaching-tool for peacemakers 4th Annual International Conference on Religion, Conflict and Peace First Religious Youth Service Project in Pakistan World Harmony Day at the UN Highlights the Culture of Peace Report of Diversity Talk Series 2013, in Lahore, Pakistan Journée d'étude à Tunis: Religions et cultures au service de la paix Workshop in Tunis: Religions and cultures in the service of peace Out of the spotlight, Moroccan Islamic party promotes interfaith dialogue Muslim and Christian youth come together in Mombasa, Kenya Greeting of Peace from United Social Welfare Society, Pakistan Interfaith Cultural Study Tour to Nepal: Pakistan Youth Explore the Mysteries of Nepal One Nation, One Blood (Pakistan) Teachings of Peace Overview of the Book, Paganism an Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions La líder de un movimiento interreligioso Dena Merriam recibirá el 31 Niwano Peace Prize Dena Merriam, Founder and leader of The Global Peace Initiative of Women to receive the Niwano Peace Prize Pakistan: Scholars adopt charter of peace, support coexistence Lebanese dialogue aims to strengthen unity in diversity Un an du "Projet Revalorisation du Vivre Ensemble – REVE" au Niger A Year-long Project for "Living Together - REVE" in Niger Beating the drum for peace: A chat with the general secretary of the South Sudan Council of Churches There’s a Place in India Where Religions Coexist Beautifully and Gender Equality Is Unmatched Click here for articles since 2016.
