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.

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 ❤️
