2010 Op-ed details the transformation in Pakistan and the importance of TCF schools.
“This is my first trip to Pakistan in years in which the country’s downhill slide seems to have been arrested … members of Pakistan’s emerging middle class are stepping up to the plate. They are enraged at the terrorists who have been tearing apart their country, they’re appalled by corruption and illiteracy, and they want peace so that their children can become educated and live a better life. Their obsession is college, not Kashmir.”
“One reflection of the middle-class engagement is the rise of The Citizens Foundation (TCF)…. Today, TCF runs 660 [now 910] excellent schools for the poorest citizens. I visited several of these schools on this trip — and, wow!”
His 2011 column recommends readers to give TCF a holiday gift.
“The Citizens Foundation was started by Pakistani businessmen concerned about their country, and it builds terrific schools for needy children there.”

“Indeed, access to a sound and comprehensive education is as important as any other tool in the current struggle against the forces of violence and hatred and is vital to the future of the Pakistani people.”
