Jumping for SAF
On 21st August 2005, Mr. Abteen Sai, chairman of SAF-UK's board of trustees,will do a parachute jump to raise funds to equip an educational center beingbuilt by the Science and Arts Foundation for the people of Bam. In both his professional achievements and philanthropicendeavours, Abteen follows in the footsteps of his father, University of TehranProfessor Karim Sai, after whom Tehran's beautiful Park Saiwas named.Abteen describes why he has chosen to 'Jump for SAF':
"I am doing a parachute jump for the children of Bam because I believepassionately in what SAF is trying to achieve. Many people donate generouslywhen disaster strikes. Without diminishing the value of this generosity, weshould recognise that the problem is not solved that easily. We need to findlong-term solutions, and education forms the backbone of that solution.Education is the main step on the road to eradicating poverty, overcomingprejudices, fighting corruption and attaining democracy.
"Today, SAF is building a permanent ICT centre for the children of Bam. It hasalready provided computer centres, internet connections and ICT training formore than 60,000 students and educators in over 200 educational centres in Iranand is continuously building portals with content in various fields ofeducation.
"I hope that you share my sentiments and lend your support for this admirablecause."
