The U.S. Consulate General, Lahore signed a $10,000 (870,000 Rs) grant with the Lahore Press Club to increase journalism capacity.  The U.S. Consulate also sponsored a concert at the Club in honor of Daniel Pearl World Music Days and Pakistani journalists, many of whom have lost their lives in the line of duty.  The concert featured Mary McBride, a popular American country-rock band.  The concert is one of hundreds of World Music Days concerts held around the world to bring people from different cultures together through music.

  

The $10,000 grant from the U.S. Consulate to the Lahore Press Club will improve journalists' ability to do their jobs.  The grant includes funds for media training workshops and lectures.  It also includes funds for a new resource center including a reference library and new computers and multi-media projectors.

 

Daniel Pearl was a Wall Street Journal bureau chief who was brutally murdered by extremists in Karachi in 2002.  Pearl was also a musician who joined music groups wherever he travelled.  At World Music Days concerts around the world, musicians commemorate Pearl's life through the universal language of music to spread a message of hope and bring people together in a united stand for peace.
