Ok, it's 11pm here on Thursday night in California. After work tomorrow (around 7pm-ish) I'm going to send the Western Union money gram to Pakistan. I'm pretty excitedly looking forward to it, it's going to feel great to do something with so much positive impact.
We have a man on our forum named Naeem. He has inspired me. This is Naeem and his work. Yes, that's a toyota radiator fan motor re-wound, and a DIY controller made from available parts, and a functional many-stage reduction made from the materials he could afford.
My goal, is to return the inspiration his work gave me, but in a form I'm best suited to offering as a fairly well-off westerner, money.
Paypal doesn't offer it's services in Pakistan, only Western Union does. They are kinda a PITA to send with fees and forms etc.
So, for folks who feel the desire to return something to man who may have also brought inspiration into their own life, I'm doing a 1-day collection for Naeem with my paypal acct (so it's effortless and fee-free for folks to send money for him), and then sending it all via-Western-Union to him on Friday after work.
What do you expect in return for the money if you donate? Nothing. If I think you expect something, I will return your payment. If he just disappears with out as much as a 'thanks', that's fine. He has all ready done more with nothing than I ever could have expected. Judging from past history though... I expect you will see each dollar stretched to give amazing results, and I personally can't wait to see them.
If you wish to get in on this, paypal the following email address by before 7pm on Friday, 1/7/11.
Liveforphysics@yahoo.com
Make it a "gift" and put "Naeem" and your username (unless you wish to be anonymous) in the subject box.
If you want to get in on this, do it by tomorrow, or send your own western union money-gram (I can give you his info if you want to do that).
