Friends in Oxford,

We are pleased to inform you that we will have our first introductory meeting for the Oxford University Collective for Pastoralism and Nomadic People. The meeting is scheduled on Thursday 16 November 2023, at 04:45 pm in Reuben College.

We are happy to be supported by TORCH for light refreshments for this meeting and we would love to see as many people as possible. Please share this post and invitation with other people who may be interested in attending.

We know that many of us are not in Oxford, so we would also have a Zoom link for those who are joining online. Message me :)

We really hope to see you on Thursday and start this amazing collective.

Many thanks.

Every day I am in awe of international students. Doing a PhD in your native language and home country is hard. Doing it in a non-native language, in a different country and different culture is so much harder. You are not stupid. You are legends.

Personal Statement Workshop for Supporting a School Building by @ChitralAcademic

Many of us usually get stuck when it comes to writing personal statements for universities and scholarships. In this Workshop, we will discuss some of the main points that are necessary for making a good personal statement. We will also do an exercise at the end of the workshop where you can send in your personal statement (optional) and we can look at them together and try to improve them anonymously.

Why?

Everyone is expected to make a donation of 1000+ PKR or 10$+ to participate in this workshop that will go to a school building in Yarkhoon. The easypaisa account is 03449229745 with the title "Abdul Wahid Khan".

When?

The workshop will take place on Saturday 8th of April 2023 at 11:00 am PST.

Building Funds for a School in Chitral:

Hello twitter fam,

I am raising funds for a school in Yarkhoon Chitral. Because of the abscence of rooms, the school runs two shifts which means that students walking from far away villages get home at night. They have to walk at least 2 hours one side in very unsafe situations similar to the one shown in the video. This is totally unjust to these students and we must make their lives easy.

The total cost for the land is 50 lac and the community has pledged to raise half of the amount and we (you all) will contribute the other half. So we are looking for raising 25 lac/ 9000£/11000$.

We can collect support from anywhere around the world and even as charity from organisations. All we care about is that the students get what they deserve.

I know this might not be personal to you but if you have never walked for 4 hours in sun or rain everyday, neither should these students. Every amount counts and I am sure we will be able to achieve it very soon, like always ❤️
