Disappointment turns into Hope.

Better to cut my storey as short as possible.

It all started few years ago when I first visited website for Academy of Arts University San Francisco California ( www.academyart.edu ), and submitted my request for information for their online Graduate degree Program for Graphic Designing. Few days later what I got was a heavy package from them, containing details about there online programs and there students work.

I was not able to continue with them but, in all that process what amazed me is that how can it be possible to get “Graduate and even Masters Degree” from out there without ever visiting them.

Search cleared my amazement. That format usually known as distant learning or better to call it as TSL (technology supported learning).

That’s where “Idea” started taking its shape.

Why not to use that same format to educate our countrymen specially for

“Skill Development “

Cutting story even shorter…….

Started working on that “Idea”. The results were very amazingly hopeful and positive.

After presenting my Idea of online distant learning courses to some institutes, for professional skills, related to some applications used world over by industry, which directly work with Advertising, Marketing, Web development, Product designing and development etc and which can help educated unemployed to Learn to Earn, and can give positive effects to economy.

But the objectionable thing with my “Idea” or way of presenting my “Idea” is that it will let every one afford to Learn to Earn.

And for that reason “Business” of Educating people can be effected and that may cause “skill education” become cheaper and affordable for every unemployed poor person in the country.

So what “I” got is……… “Nothing”!

I talked to a party in Karachi to release all my work on CDs.

After examining my work they accepted to market it.

But they apologetically said that they can not pay me for all that, because there will be no copyright protection to their investment on my work in Pakistan. (Although there reason is also correct)

Even when I know that I can not afford to let all my work go public without paying me at least good enough to let me continue, still

By the Grace of Allah(swt) I decide to let it be public even what ever the results are for me.

“May be a hopeless decision but surely a hopeful step”.

Now it is in markets of  Karachi. Hopefully  soon it will spread all over country.

Luckily I can at least purchase my own work from “them” on their produced Cds and try to let it be public faster.
