It is heartening to know the efforts and help being extended from the U.S. to Pakistan. What concerns me is that we do not see any of these positive effects permeating down to the ordinary citizens. U.S. has to make the utilization of any fund, if given, to the utmost and root out corruption in the said field. They also need to reassure Pakistani public that U.S. is working towards a better Pakistan. They really need to do exactly what Bridge-US is doing now.

Bridge-US has emerged as an important source of information about US efforts to make Pakistan a prosperous, better and safe society. To me news like "United States and Pakistan Announce Funds for Pakistan-U.S. Science and Technology Cooperation, U.S. Promotes Efficient Water Management in Pakistan, United States and Pakistan Help Pakistani Farmers Increase Profits through Better Water Management, U.S. Helps Islamabad Enjoy Better Water Supply, Higher Energy Efficiency and U.S. Provides Grants to Advocates of Water Rights" are really encouraging. This is a horrifying fact that acolossal 80% of all diseases in Pakistan are caused by contaminated water, which in turn causes 40% of deaths in the country, according to Jehangir Shah, a senior scientific officer at the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - PCSIR. Any effort to work towards better water quality, meant to save lives and disease free healthy society. I really appreciate U.S. efforts.

As an educationist and scientist, I am encouraged to know that the United States is doing all efforts to support education and scientific research in Pakistan. I learnt through Bridge-US about Jacobabad Institute of Medical Sciences and PakistanU.S. Science and Technology Cooperation. This is also the time for the United States to ensure that all the funding and resources are going to the deserving students/ individuals. I also want to say that Bridge-US is awakening for people and really promoting better understanding between two countries.
