AMAZING! would love to help

[ADIEnvisionArabia]

@mjichi Great! Email us at info@arabdevelopment.ca, and you should hear back from us soon :)

this is wonderful and all but how are you going to do all that? It's almost like saying "I will bring peace to the world". I admire the ideals behind this, but the feasibility of this initiative is questionable.

[ADIEnvisionArabia]

@dirtydozen8988 Thanks for your comment. The point of this video was to inspire Arab youth to further engage in the development of the Arab World. Our goal isn't too "bring peace to the world" per say but to provide a discussion forum, sharing ideas of innovative development for the Arab World, and to inspire others to believe that a change is possible if we work collaboratively and positively! We'd love to hear more from you- join in the conversation on twitter @ADInitiative or on facebook.

[hemascrat]

I like the idea, it's really perfect and amazing, good luck with it insha'Allah

But I have a question, is this message for Arab or non-Arab people? And if for Arab, then why you are not talking in Arabic?!!
