Akon gave a detailed account of the events surrounding the leak during an appearance on Tavis Smiley’s PBS television show in January 2009:

“Me and Mike did this incredible record called Hold My Hand and the record is amazing. Phenomenal. And the concept was that this would be Mike’s first release off of his new album, and then I would stripe it on my album – on my following release. That way we could have the outlets open for everyone to be able to receive the record. You know, Mike came up with this brilliant marketing launch for the record. You know, he’s the best at launching a record.”

Akon continues:

“He’d have the whole world paying attention in two minutes… And before we could get to that point, the record got leaked over the internet. And we got over 15 million downloads on the song for free. So we couldn’t [release it]. You can’t at that point. Everybody already has the record. But in a way, you gotta look at it like… that’s just a gift to the fans.”

"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships."
– Michael Jordan.
JOIN HANDS symbolizes ‘to work together in an enterprise or a task.’ We can accomplish great things if we all join hands and work together.
You must have heard of the Elephant and the Monkey story. If not? Here is the story. In a forest, lived one elephant and a monkey who were too highbrow on their qualities and would often quarrel about who had superior qualities. So, one day an owl thought to teach them a lesson about the importance of collaboration and teamwork and had an idea to initiate a competition, and whoever wins would be considered superior and more powerful. The challenge was to get a golden fruit from an old tree present in the forest behind.
To reach the forest behind, both of them had to cross the river. But the monkey swept away along with the high current and after that, the elephant asked the monkey to ascend on his back, and then they successfully crossed the river. The challenge was still not completed. The elephant attempted to descend the tree but the tree was so strong and didn't shake so the monkey decided to climb up the tree and pluck the fruit.
When they came back and the owl was going to declare the winner, both of them first stopped the owl from declaring the winner and then expressed their gratitude towards each other and stated that they were able to do so because of their joint efforts.
The moral of the story has been stated as follows:

• No one is superior to anyone, individually one is not effective. However, collectively as a team, we can achieve the impossible. All because you used unity at the right time to do the right thing.
• Teamwork is the backbone of collaboration and effective communication within an organization. It increases efficiency and productivity.
• Collaborative problem-solving leads to better outcomes.
• As everyone knows, the work done by a team is always done at a much better pace, with high accuracy and precision when compared to the work of an individual. It always has a large impact on a huge amount of people.
• Teamwork gives opportunities for growth, lowers the risk of burnout, yields fewer mistakes, and sparks creativity.
• Working in a team encourages personal growth, addresses a large number of people, and reduces stress.
• It leads to enhanced creativity and improved quality of work.
• It improves organizational culture, and brainstorming and encourages a common goal.
• Teamwork skills are essential for the academic and professional success of an individual.

Also, I would like to focus on the concept and the importance of education:
Education can be defined as the training of people, and the transmission of skills, knowledge, and character traits, and manifests in various forms. Formal education occurs within a structured institutional framework, such as private and public schools, following a curriculum.

• It helps you improve your career and personal growth.
• It contributes to human development and helps you make the right decisions in life.
• It increases the chance of employment and also helps in the creation of an identity of a self.
• Education provides stability in life, and it's something that no one can ever take away from you. By being well-educated and holding a college degree, you increase your chances for better career opportunities and open up new doors for yourself
• It helps to reduce inequalities and reach gender equality.
• It leads to innovations and discoveries.
• It helps in the character and moral development of an individual.
• Education helps a person to get knowledge and improve confidence in life.
• It teaches lessons of gratitude and humanity.
• Learning changes your thinking capabilities and perceptions.

Similarly, Pehchaan The Street School is not an individual entity. It has a group of volunteers whose motive is to help each underprivileged child create a PEHCHAAN (‘identity’) for themselves. In 2015, it consisted only of 5 volunteers, with an increase in time, Pehchaan The Street School consisted of 500+ volunteers along with interns and other community members.
Mr. Aakash Tandon along with his friends started it. Pehchaan The Street School aims to provide quality and free education to every underprivileged child. From elementary education to vocational studies, they have emphasized the value of education as a fundamental right. The motive is to make education accessible to every child with a desire to learn. The institutionalization and commodification of education across our country have severely restricted the ability of the underprivileged to access means of vocational as well as academic studies, and that’s the barrier that we aim to break with Pehchaan The Street School.
At Pehchaan The Street School, where the holistic approach to education dominates, we are venturing beyond just academics to break off from the conventional. They recognize multi-dimensional issues faced by underprivileged children and offer integrated interventions. They also provide free health checkups, skill enhancement courses, workshops on the importance of personal hygiene and sanitation, mental health treatment, financial support, and legal aid.
Various initiatives taken by Pehchaan The Street School for the rights to equality, freedom, and education for each underprivileged child are mentioned as follows:

• Quality Education

It is provided by setting up informal schooling spaces in inaccessible locations; the initiatives break down barriers that typically prevent these children from accessing formal education systems.
Education completely changes the way how an individual thinks and takes action in their life.

• Creation of a supportive environment

Pehchaan The Street School consists of parents, local communities, interns, volunteers, and various community members in the educational process fostering a supportive environment for all the children to learn efficiently.

• Personal Hygiene and sanitation camps

Various camps are organized to provide information about hygiene and measures to maintain it. Hygiene camps conduct interactive sessions on handwashing, dental care, and personal hygiene, instilling habits that serve as the first line of defense against infections and diseases.

• Financial Support

Financial aid is provided to underprivileged children through donations in various forms such as uniforms, books, shoes, cash, adoption of a child’s education, etc.

• Menstrual education

Various sessions are conducted by Pehchaan The Street School to spread awareness and information about menstrual cramps, menstruation, and other factors related to it.

• Gender Equality

Gender equality is the state of equal ease of access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender, including economic participation and decision-making; and the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations, and needs equally, regardless of gender. Pehchaan The Street School also conducts sessions on social norms and etiquette, basic salutations, and educates children on how to treat others, etc.

• Reduced Inequality

It stands for recognizing the unique challenges faced by different groups and implementing measures to overcome barriers, promote equal rights, and foster inclusive societies where everyone can thrive.

• Free health checkups

Monthly free health checkups take place under the supervision of Pehchaan The Street School for each underprivileged child and woman.

• Mental health treatments

Counseling, peer support, medication, psychological therapies, and brain stimulation therapies are conducted to keep the stress level low and are used to provide education about mental health.
Overall, Pehchaan The Street School focuses on the academic and holistic development of each underprivileged child as well as woman.

Depending on where you're going and what activities you want to do, prices can vary greatly. For example, if you're looking for an upscale experience in Paris or Rome, expect to pay more than if you were just visiting smaller towns or villages.
To get the most out of your trip without breaking the bank, there are several things you can do.

However, even if you don't need a visa, you should still check with the local embassy just to make sure nothing has changed since your last visit. Additionally, keep in mind that certain activities like working or studying will require an additional permit from the government.
It’s also worth noting that many countries offer tourist visas which allow visitors to stay for longer periods of time without having to apply for long-term residency permits.

I have this bag and it’s been well loved. I even had to replace the straps because I’ve worn them through. It’s the best shape, size, love the middle pocket. It’s great. I’d love to find the same bag but in a higher end brand. Anyone got any good ideas? Not the LV Neverfull (my husband thinks it looks like it’s bought at Target 🙄) I have the LV Neonoe poppy but it’s not the same obvs.

A rather dreary, bleary, and all round grim day, but that doesn’t stop a man from exploring the local jaunts and haunts. As such, it was off west to observe a palace and its surrounding grounds.
I happened upon cats, ducks, and fruits mere weeks away from the local market. All in all, it was rather a fun experience.
To make it even better, I thought to build a preppy ensemble in preparation for the winds and rain for your entertainment.
Coat: Polo Ralph Lauren
I simply can’t get enough of madras. Such a classic prep pattern and it was put together with such care by the good folks at Ralph Lauren. For quite some time, I was in two minds about this coat. Do I keep it? Do I sell it? Today was the maiden voyage and I’ve decided it’s a keeper. Even better that it’s 100% Cotton.
Blazer: Ermenegildo Zegna
The Navy blazer is a classic staple. Heck, there’s even a whole subreddit dedicated to it. This example is a travel cloth which is brilliant for summer due to its light weight and ability to bounce back from creasing. Even better that it’s fully canvassed. ‘Twas also a candidate for sale, but I pulled it out, tried it on again, and said, ‘Yeah.’
Funnily enough, the button popped clean off after taking the first photo. I heard it clang on the ground. But not to worry, re-attached with a linen thread and it won’t be going anywhere any time soon. Perhaps I’ll convert all of them to brass in time.
Chinos: Polo Ralph Lauren
The classic Ralph chinos are always a brilliant choice. Wide leg, pleats, thick cotton with a brilliant hang. Just as chinos were meant to be. If you’re searching, keep an eye out for ‘Andrew’ and ‘Suffield’. They’re the best ones, but I don’t think they make them anymore.
Shirt: Eton
Never had much experience with this brand, but I’ve come to the conclusion that their shirts are solid. I wouldn’t pay retail for them, but if you can thrift it, go for it. Seen here in a lovely white, blue, and navy grid. Just some additional visual intrigue.
Vest: Polo Ralph Lauren
Still one of the best in the game when it comes to the art of the vest. Pure cotton here and as such, the moths can dream on.
Tie: Vintage St. Michael
Well, you have to pull it all together with something. Bring in the navy of the blazer, the red of the glasses, the yellow on the vest, and the cream/beige of the trousers.
Watch: Longines Hydroconquest 43mm Automatic Sunray Blue
Love this piece. Can never go wrong with an auto diver. Such a versatile style of sports watch that can fit so many outfits and settings.
Shoes: Crockett & Jones
Keep it English and you won’t regret it, but if you stray then I’ll have to say, ‘Nay!’ Single monk. Supremely comfortable and versatile. So easy to dress up or down.
Socks: Pantherella
Knee high, boyo. As it should be. Socks falling down? Never me.
Glasses: Cubitts
Love this brand. Pretty funky, pretty 70s, pretty cool. Acetate frames as they were meant to be.
Hat: Bates
Can’t go wrong with a black and white houndstooth in pure wool. Kept the noggin warm as the wind and rain came with a fury at various points of the day.
And after all that, what else can I say? Simply put: Classic Never Goes Away

Private jet travel offers significant time-saving benefits, allowing you to maximize your time in Rwanda. Private jets can fly directly to airports closer to gorilla trekking destinations, reducing the need for lengthy transfers and layovers. This efficiency means you can spend more time exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Volcanoes National Park and less time in transit. By optimizing your travel schedule, private jet travel ensures that every moment of your safari is spent enjoying the adventure, not waiting in airports.
Exclusive Access with Rwanda Gorilla Safaris

Many gorilla trekking sites are located in remote and otherwise hard-to-reach areas. Private jets can land at smaller, less congested airports that are closer to these prime locations. This access not only reduces travel time but also enhances the overall experience by providing a more direct route to your destination. Additionally, private jet travel allows for flexible itineraries tailored to your preferences, ensuring that your Rwanda Gorilla Safaris are customized to your schedule and interests.
By choosing private jet travel for your Rwanda Gorilla Safaris, you elevate your entire experience, from the comfort and convenience of your journey to the exclusive access and time efficiency it provides.
