The Citizens Archive of Pakistan in collaboration with Routes2Roots present Exchange for Change Pakistan India 2013 - 2015

The Citizens Archive of Pakistan in collaboration with Routes2Roots present Exchange for Change Pakistan India 2013 - 2015. The Citizens Archive of Pakistan (CAP), in collaboration with Routes2Roots (R2R), an Indian non-profit organisation working for peace and dialogue between Pakistan and India, launched Exchange for Change 2013 – 2015 between 5,000 school children aged 10-14 years from schools across Karachi, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Delhi, Dehradun and Mumbai. The project aims to help students in both countries realize that a sustained dialogue is possible and encourage them to form their own opinions. During the life of this project, a sustained exchange of written, visual and oral histories will take place between the students.
The press conference for the launch of Exchange for Change 2013 – 2015 was presided over by CAP President Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy and featured acclaimed musician Atif Aslam and Routes2Roots Founders Tina Vachani and Rakesh Gupta. CAP Board Members Amean J., Swaleha Alam Shahzada, Ali Reza Mumtaz, Adnan Malik, Ahsan Bilgrami and Sayem Ali were also a part of the proceedings.
During the press conference Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy apprised the audience on CAP and its different projects, while Executive Director Swaleha Alam Shahzada shared details regarding the Exchange for Change 2013-2015 programme. Routes2Roots Founder Tina Vachani had travelled from India to attend the event and briefed the audience on Indian perspectives of Pakistan and how a majority of Indians were eager to form bonds of friendship with their Pakistani neighbours. Renowned musician Atif Aslam regaled the audience with stories of his experiences in India and appreciated the efforts of CAP and Routes2Roots to bring both nations closer together. Former Speaker of the National Assembly Illahi Bukhsh Soomro was also present on occasion and appreciated the efforts of CAP and Routes2Roots.
Exchange for Change was launched in September 2010 between 2,400 school children from 10 schools in Karachi, Lahore, Delhi and Mumbai. After its spectacular success the project was expanded in 2012 to 3,500 school children from 17 schools in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Delhi, Chandigarh and Mumbai. During the fourteen-month life of the project, a sustained exchange of written, visual and oral histories linked school children aged 10-14 years across the six cities.
Exchange for Change is an initiative by CAP that aims at improving relationships between school students in different countries. Through cross-culture communication it has been observed that students can develop a clearer understanding of their history, culture and lifestyles. CAP believes that such interaction will in turn lead to a positive change and eliminate cultural misconceptions and inter-generational conflict.

Speaking about this initiative, Swaleha Alam Shahzada, Executive Director and Governing Board Member of CAP said:

“The growth of the project from 2,400 students in 2010 to 5,000 students in 2013 has created a bridge that can no longer be ignored. These students from across Pakistan and India have taught us a very important lesson – a lesson of tolerance and appreciation of each other. Now it is up to the society to support this bridge and these students in their mission to sustain and strengthen the relationships created through EFC.”

Tina Vachani, Founder of Routes2Roots said:

“EFC is not an ordinary programme or just an extracurricular activity for children. It is the value we see in the connect between India and Pakistan, which we want to grow with in terms of culture, festivities, lifestyle and sustaining togetherness. The leaders of tomorrow, our children from both countries share the realities for their glorious future.”

Nokia Rolled out a New Software Update for the Nokia Asha 501

Nokia Rolled out a New Software Update for the Nokia Asha 501 last week, with some Big Changes to the OS to offer a better all-round Experience. So what’s new? Turn on your Nokia Asha 501 for the first time after installing the update, check out the menu, and one of the first things you’ll notice is a new icon – WhatsApp – providing a feature that plenty of Asha 501 owners have been asking for over the past few months.
Tap the icon and WhatsApp downloads automatically. The app itself looks fantastic, and as with all the other features in the latest update, it’s particularly easy to use.
Changes to Fastlane:

The changes run a lot deeper than that, though, and Fastlane is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the update. It’s now possible to remove individual apps and items from your feed, so you can keep Fastlane simple, uncluttered and filled with the features you truly love the most.
To remove an item from Fastlane, simply tap and hold, and then delete it using the cross at the side. It’ll still be in the main menu of course, but just won’t appear under that day’s activity on Fastlane.
Choose items for Fastlane:
You can also choose which items appear on your Fastlane list, picking from: Alarm, calendar, calls, installed apps, messages, music, new photos, notes, radio, recent apps, recent web page, Bluetooth sharing and social networks.
My own favourite feature in the update is the new camera offering, which lets you swipe the lock screen upwards to automatically start the camera – there’s no need for a dedicated shutter button for the camera,
When you swipe up you can open the camera, video mode or gallery, meaning there’s no more wasted time when you’re looking to shoot something exciting, or wanting to share things with friends.
I also love the fact that it’s now easier to navigate through menus, sharing content, moving or deleting as you go. Tap and hold a photograph in the gallery and a large, simple menu appears. Simply select the way you want to share it – via messaging or Slam, for example – and there’s nothing more to do.

The options are more intuitive than before, and it’s a lot easier to get to grips with if the Nokia Asha 501 is your first smartphone.
