Wateen Rallies For Freedom Of Expression, Launches Wateen Scouts to empower the youth of Pakistan

Wateen Telecom, ranked Pakistan’s No. 1 wireless broadband company by the PTA, is proud to present ‘Wateen Scouts’, a revolutionary new youth movement which went live this week on Wateen’s Facebook page.
Wateen Scouts is a platform for the youth of Pakistan to step forward and present their innovative ideas for making a tangible difference to the country’s social scenario. Through Wateen Scouts, the company aims to empower the youth of Pakistan in enabling the change they wish to see in the country. The campaign, launched through digital and social media platforms, carries a message of change from renowned motivational speaker Nadeem Chawhan, who is spearheading the campaign. Mr Chawhan is a senior facilitator and consultant with Navitus, a leading management consulting and training firm with a rich history of adding value to the corporate sector in Pakistan and abroad.
The campaign is running simultaneously in major universities and colleges across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Students may register as ‘Wateen Scouts’ either on Facebook or through Wateen’s recently launched Freedom Booths, which are being set up at universities and colleges in the relevant cities. The ‘Registration’ process will involve an application form through which prospective candidates will present their ideas. Ideas should focus on improving one of the following: (i) your family, (ii) your community, or (iii) your country.
Wateen Scouts will be selected on the basis of their proposed ideas. Once selected, candidates will begin their ‘Training’ period, during which Mr Chawhan will help them package their ideas into practical and attainable projects. Following the ‘Training’ period, Wateen Scouts hopes to have synthesised several practical solutions to real-life problems in Pakistan and improve society at large.
Commenting on this innovative new campaign, Wateen CEO Naeem Zamindar said, “Our aim is to demonstrate that as individuals, we are responsible for the state of affairs in our life and our surroundings. We intend to bring this message to our youth and help them make the change that they yearn for in our society – hence ‘Jo Chaho’.”
