Dear Nitin and others,                           June 22, 2010;

Assalaamu Alaikum. [Peace forever.]

The best teacher is one who teaches the student to learn by herself or himself. That does not mean the teacher does not convey any fact at all. He/ She does both.

Likewise we hope that poverty would be eliminated by everyone becoming self sufficient. Mutual dependence by different persons producing different products gives variety in life. However there are occasions when we do need to spoon feed an individual. For instance when one is struck by a debilitating disease, we do need to give shelter, food, clothing, even physiotherapy until the individual becomes strong enough to be self-supporting.

When I was earning a handsome salary during 1984 - 91 in Saudi Arabia, my co-brother desired that I help his son through the university education. I offered to give it as a gift. He suggested that instead of a gift, I give it as a loan to him so that he has the urge to earn and pay back.

I did not like to give him the conventional loan that has interest associated with it. So I suggested to my nephew that he takes the loan but the accounting would be in gold. When he receives the money, we would look at the price of gold and record the loan in both Rupees and grams of 22 carat gold. When he returns the loan, we would likewise record the currencies returned, but also record the equivalent gold. The loan gets repaid when the outstanding gold becomes zero. This scheme ensured that neither of us suffered due to inflation; and also that there was no specific time limit to repay the loan.

I am happy to say that he did so. Further he moved to USA before me. When I came to USA, the college would not pay me until I had served for one month. During the first month he gave me loan and I repaid again on the gold account.

Can we operate this way? Whenever we give a loan without any specific time limit, there is a possibility that the receipient might never be able to pay it back. In that case it becomes a charity.

I suggest that we do give blankets etc., but give it as a loan to be repaid; the beneficiary indicates the possible time of repayment. In case circumstances do not allow the repayment to be completed in the requested period, we give more time as desired by the beneficiary. When the third time also the beneficiary could not repay the loan, we treat is as a gift. As and when the beneficiary repays it would be recorded as a charitable donation.

What is the nature of this loan? Is it a business? Is it charity? It is both. I have corrected your write-up assuming that we approve this philosophy.

Rest in next.

Ever Yours,

Mohideen Ibramsha

Global Concern as the name suggests is a emerging volunteer based, non-profit, charity organization with the aim to provide not answers but solutions to some of the major Concerns of the world.


We beleive that all the root cause of the problems in the world is poverty and poverty can not be solved by giving some blankets, food, books to the poor and needy. It can only be solved when each and everyone in the world will stand on their feet.

We might give blanket, shelter, food, books etc not as a gift, but as a loan. The loan shall be repaid by equivalent value; blanket for blanket; food for food etc. The time to pay back the loan would be decided by the debtor.

Even though we expect the loan to be repaid as agreed on the date and time specified, we would reschedule the loan if necessary. Such rescheduling would be done two times, beyond which the loan would be written off treating the same as charity.

We follow the above scheme just to ensure that each of us can hold our head high that we did not become resigned to a life of dependency.

We would like every one to be economically self-sufficient. This could be through employment or through a sustaining business activity be that agriculture, industry, education or any other field.

When they could earn for themself and fulfill their needs and requirements we feel happy that we have removed poverty from some. The model of GC is not mere charity model, it is somewhat a business model for the charity, where people come and learn about things related to education, employment, work, and enjoy.

We dont offer them free money, we dont offer them free blankets, we dont offer them free food and books.

We teach them to create all this for themselves, we make them self-sufficient and independent rather than being dependent on some charity organization.

As per the members of Global Concern, we always smile and feel happy, I personally share jokes, sms, emails with all my staff, it doesnt mean I am not serious in Charity organization. Its like what we do is for the self happiness and satisfaction. I do everything to bring smile on other's face, Be it sharing a sms joke, a prank email, doing a social work, helping someone with their work or whatever, the main point is to bring smile on the faces around me and make people laugh and forget their pain for sometime.

Though I am always thankful to all the people around me but I would like to give my special thanks to few people over here to tell them how much I love them and how much thankful I am to them for helping me in making my dreams come true.

First of all I would like to say thanks to Mrs. Julia Grana Navia Our Secretary General for Global Concern and more than this she is like a mother, a guardian for me, who has always helped me in all my good and bad time and has supported me in GC. What ever GC is today is all because she showed me the way to this.

I would like to pass my thanks to Mr. Franz Kellner and Dr. Mohideen Ibramsha whose knowledge and skills have always helped me to raise GC up and high, they have always been like a shelter for GC and me. They have always given their best for the GC with their time, skills, knowledge and above all the efforts.

I would like to say thanks to all the other Trustees, Regional Directors, Members, Volunteers, Supporters and every one associated with GC in one or the other way for being with me in this noble cause. Thanks a lot for being a part of my family in one of the other form. You people have really given me a big big family and I am really thankful to you all for the same and will always try to be a good and responsible head of the family.

Lastly I would like to give my thanks to our first staff members of Global Concern Miss. Sushmita Yadav, Miss. Sushma Tanwar and above all I would like to give my speciall thanks to Mr. Abhishek Bhardwaj and Mr. Devesh Kumar for their continous efforts and presence with me in all my web related projects, their day and night hard work has really helped me to give time to other work.

I hope to enjoy developing Global Concern with all of you in future.
