About Me

I help with the No Smoking Label contractual work. I usually tune to the Frisky Radio station run by Faisal.I'm proud of producers and DJs who promote that music can be enjoyed without 'chemical substances'. Music is certainly very powerful and it can be used in a constructive and positive way.I used to do research on Satellite Communications and write papers that were published in books and presented at conferences. The unneccesary war on Iraq after September 11 made me realized that all my past research work is meaningless compared to the injustice by the powerful against the powerless. So I decided to change the priorities in my life. I belive that my project management and engineering background will be of benefit for my revised life objectives.Since completing the documentary degree, I volunteer for documentaries related to social and political issue.
I moved back to Europe this year from the US and plan to volunteer for a while with organizations that work on rural development, human rights and corporate resposibility.My new life objective is to work for a society that provides Human Rights without discrimination, promotes the dignity and worth of human beings, and provides opportunities for them to develop their best potentials. I'm the producer of Our Human Rights
