18th January 2011, Peshawar, Pakistan – It is almost a year since Jaspal Singh’s family lost their 29- year-old breadwinner when he was brutally beheaded by the Taliban, on the border of the Khyber and Orakzai Agencies in Pakistan. However, his family was not forgotten by UNITED SIKHS and the Sikh community of Bangkok who spent 442,000 Pak rupees (about £3,000 or $5,000 USD) to help them set up a grocery store last month and also paid for their children’s school fees last year.

Glad to see our community is waking up and helping our own too instead of going on crusades helping other communities (tsunami, haiti, sri lanka,etc) while our own is being persecuted and neglected (afghani, pakistani and kashmiri sikhs).

Rule of thumb should be that funds are channelled to go towards helping our own first, once our community is secure we can help others in need, this will also give incentive to other Sikhs to give their 10% of earnings to support the community worldwide become stronger.
