The Starfish
As I walked on the beach one morning, I saw a young man picking up starfish from the sand and flinging them back into the sea.
I asked him what he was doing. "If I don't save them, they will die in the noonday sun," he replied.
"But there are thousands of starfish on this beach," I replied. "What difference does it make to save just a few?"
He looked down at the starfish in his hand and flung it to safety in the waves.
"It makes a big difference to this one!" he said.

We wish all Pakistan's children a very happy New Year (and the same to you also)
Pakistan's minorities in crisis More than six thousand children from the marginalized minorities are studying in one of the schools supported by Starfish Asia in Pakistan. These are schools that charge little or no fees, so that the very poorest families can enable their children to gain an education and a future.
Starfish Asia is committed to bring new hope to the lives of the poor, especially among the minorities in Pakistan. We support the education of more than 6,000 children from poor families. We, who have so much, feel it a privilege to help those who have so little.
The Jinnah Institute has produced this extremely helpful report on the state of Pakistan's minorities. Click here to download a copy.
Please... make a gift and save a life Will you help us rescue more? It takes £5 or $10 a month to give a child an education in Pakistan.
No country can thrive in the modern world without educating its children. This is an outstanding online publication, that outlines graphically the crisis in education in Pakistan today. The campaign has been launched by the Pakistan Education Task Force which brings together representatives from the federal and provincial governments, with leaders from civil society.
