Our mission is to connect young people to a world of career possibilities, inspire them to dream big, and empower them to fulfil their potential. We do this by operating as a hub for education and employer engagement: running events in schools and businesses, providing a mentoring programme for young people at risk, facilitating work experience placements, and promoting apprenticeships and other education or employment pathways to students, teachers and parents. By giving young people access to a wide range of professionals from their local business community, we help them make informed decisions about their future careers. We are particularly concerned that young people learn about opportunities with huge growth potential - like careers in STEM - and are challenged to achieve their full potential. We are actively working to address gender bias and create opportunities for all.

We are a non-profit organization that supports families and children contending with varying disabilities or needs by providing them the language, the resources, and the space to give them much-needed encouragement and support. Whether the child has a varying need, a challenge, or is in the hospital for an extended period of time, we are here to make sure love and hope is always readily available for the child, their family (e.g. their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles and grandparents) and their village (e.g. relatives, teachers, helpers, and therapists). We believe that for a child to be as happy as can be, the families need to be loved on and supported as much as possible. Whether you have a kid coming (a baby), a kid now or a kid at heart, we are here for you. Our organization was inspired by the journey of Aundon Cade but truthfully, we are here to help every child. Including yours.

The devastating Nepal earthquake pulled at the heartstrings of many around the world, including myself. I am Terry Mikeska, former businessman, professional pianist, and long-time caretaker to San Angelo philanthropist Eva Camuñez Tucker. I was born and raised in San Angelo, and to see such total destruction half-way around the world just broke my heart. At the time I was sponsoring a family in Nepal through an organization called "Work Committed Nepal." March 2017 We will be providing Solar panels/energy to villages, school supplies for teachers and students and work with the local Red Cross and Jaycees organization for our fall healthcare mission. Fall of 2020 we will be building on to a school/daycare in east Nepal and school supplies for 500 students.

To stimulate and develop cognitive thinking in young minds and encourage students to explore and experiment with basic materials existing in their environment and understand the underlying scientific principles Brief overview Alif Laila Book Bus Society (ALBBS) traces its origin from the time when in 1978 an American couple - Dr. Nita Backer and Dr. Richard Baker - working at the American School in Lahore, came up with the idea to harness the reading potential in children and create a sense of affection for books. To make the whole concept attractive and child friendly, the society requested the Pakistan Road Transport Board to donate a Double Decker bus in which a library could be set up. Books were donated and soon afterwards the first Book Bus Library became functional. The idea proved to be a roaring success. Consequently to ensure provision of maximum benefit to the most vulnerable focus was placed on children enrolled in Government schools, whereas to widen the ambit of work the number of libraries was increased over time. Of these, the first set up in the double decker bus is a Stationed Bus Library, the second a Reference Library set up in a building, and the 2 Mobile Libraries and 3 rickshaw libraries for facilitating those children who cannot visit either of the above. From the time of its registration under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 in January 1979 till date, Alif Laila has focused on bringing books and children closer through setting up libraries small and big, in communities and in schools as well as its mobile library program. However, at the same time the organization has added interventions its portfolio that are congruent to its overall mission and vision.

In Lahore the unique library complex hosts Pakistan's pioneer children library and first mobile library. The mobile library program consists of 2 custom made small vehicles and a rickshaw. These mobile libraries serve low income communities as well as government schools. Rickshaw library is used for narrow streets.

Our mission is to help students discover, build, and start living a life of greatness. We desire to walk alongside students as they discover God’s plan and purpose for their lives. We hope to train young people to see that their faith is not limited to their own “personal walk with jesus,” but that Jesus Christ wants to influence and reign over every area of life. All of life is spiritual – including our interests, relationships, talents and career. We want to help students develop in all areas of life so they might glorify God and advance his kingdom through their lives. We don’t believe going to church, praying, or being in the mission field is “more spiritual” than becoming an engineer, artist, teacher, or business leader. We want all of God’s people to know how they can serve him in the field in which God has called them to serve and live.
