AIK KAHANI | Where Change Begins
An Initiative of IYDP International Youth Digital Platform
There Is No "I" In "Team".
The Aik Team
Each finger or thumb in your hand has it's own unique significance and value but when all these elements come together, and join, they become a powerful "Punch", and by working together as one team they achieve more than imagined. This defines the meaning of the word "TEAM" Together Everyone Achieves More. This fact is taken very seriously here at Aik Kahani because we have seen the negative effects of not working as a collaborative team so we decided we will not pursue that path and instead work as a cohesive team with only one focus in mind and in heart, to help educate the children and assist them in learning how to use their God given cognitive abilities for the benefit of their success.
