Everyone wants and dream about the success of his/her country. but success started with small steps not with one huge jump. And that one small step is to start empowering your community. empowerment not comes with weapons or with any sort of physical strength it comes with the growth of your mind. And that’s where one’s country starts progressing in every field of life. we are that small steps towards our country’s progress.
one thing that comes at our end is awareness we just need awareness about our rights, awareness about our responsibilities towards society, awareness about our self that what are we capable of, we are more than what we think, we are one step change towards our community. when these little step comes together, can create big difference in our community. aware the community | empower the community.
