[Shadeshi_Bondhu] Please Allow these Wheels of Life to keep going

Round the Globe HIV   /  AIDS Awareness on Bicycle When Muntasir Mamun and his group embarked on their AIDS campaign on bike sometime in late June, 2008, little did they know what was awaiting them. Hours of trekking through unknown and dangerous terrains, inclement weather, harassment at the hands of unfriendly custom officials are only a few that comes to the mind. That did not however deter the three photojournalists because they were on a mission. They had taken it upon themselves to spread the awareness about AIDS through photography and exchange of ideas with people located in remote areas all over the world. Their tours started off with Thailand and then they traveled to Brazil enroute to Mexico all on a bike. In Mexico, Muntasir Mamun and his group attended the 17th International AIDS conference. They presented the photographs of various Bangladeshi AIDS patients who have been living a normal life in the conference. As part of their advocacy they passed on information about AIDS in a Bangladeshi postcard in various remote areas of the world. Muntasir Mamun at the Exhibition hall of the Global village of XVII international AIDS conference, Mexico City Yesterday, I had an opportunity to have a couple of email correspondences with Muntasir Mamun and he told me that they were currently in Auckland and would have liked to spread the awareness in Australia but there are doubts since the financial condition isn't very sound. Will their wheels and the noble mission to keep the wheel of life running come to an abrupt stop? Isn't there anything we can do about it to allow them accomplish their mission? Please come forward to help them with whatever you can. We waste a lot of money in so many different ways . Can't we just spare $10 or even $5 for these volunteers. Even if  you can't send them an email and a word of hoped would be conforting. I'm including Muntasir Mamun's contacts and some links below. Please let your friends and relatives know about it. It's best to contact him first. Thanks a lot for your time.

If you think you are unhappy, look at them If you think your salary is low, how about her? If you think you don't have many friends... When you feel like giving up, think of this man If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does? If you complain about your transport system, how about them? If your society is unfair to you, how about her? Enjoy life how it is and as it comes Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us J   There are many things in your life that will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart....pursue those...                     This email needs to circulate forever...:

A NICE STORY TO SHARE   My mom only had one eye. I hated her.... She was such an embarrassment. . She cooked for students & teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to Say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only Has one eye!" I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.. I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only gonna make me a Laughing stock, why don't you just die?" My mom did not respond.... I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her Grandchildren. When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at Her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my Children!" GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!" And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have Gotten the wrong address," And she disappeared out of sight. One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have. "My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and Scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were Growing up. You see.........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and Lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you Having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my Place, with that eye. With all my love to you, Your mother. Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day Will be their last, or your own. Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings Peace... "I asked God, 'How do I get the best out of life?' God said, 'Face your past without regrets. Handle your present with confidence. And prepare for the future without fear!'
