In the summer of 2002, I first journeyed to Ethiopia. It was a defining moment that propelled me to look at the world and my purpose in a deeper manner. I discovered a life of service in Ethiopia and I want to share that—to inspire others as I was inspired by the children of Ethiopia. Their strength of spirit is palpable and life affirming. Thus, my aim is to chronicle my endeavor to affect change in the lives of vulnerable children in Ethiopia and the inner growth that has brought to my life.

About me
- Nasir Al-Amin
- "...there are some things in our social system to which I am proud to be maladjusted and to which I suggest that you too ought to be maladjusted." -MLK
Spiritual Chivalry
- "A friend of God must have affection like the Sun. When the sun rises, it is beneficial to all irrespective of whether they are Muslim, Christian, or Hindu.
- A friend of God must be generous like a river. We all get water from the river to quench our thirst. It does not discriminate whether we are good or bad or whether we are a relation or a stranger.
- A friend of God must display the hospitality like the earth. We are raised and cradled in its lap, and yet it is always under our feet." - Khwaja Mu'inuddin Chishti
