‘Sanwaro Pakistan’ – literally meaning ‘Make Pakistan Better’ – is an initiative encompassing one of the largest clean-up campaigns ever seen in Lahore and a series of tree planting ceremonies across 40 of the City’s schools.  

Two mass motorbike rallies were held in Lahore and Karachi respectively to drive awareness and participation. More than 150 riders wearing branded AeA T-shirts and helmets, on green bikes with AeA flags attached took part in the events.   

Public participation events such as the symbolic lighting of Diyas in and around Lahore have become commonplace and attracted widespread support and media coverage.

From 5th June 2010 onwards, Strings along with [[Arshad Mehmood (composer)| Arshad Mehmood]] will start appearing on TV1, NEWS1 and Waseeb TV as judges for the [[Azme Alishan]] National Song Competition. The [[Azme Alishan]] movement’s manifesto is to revive the same spirit of nationhood and community that lies at the heart of the vision of Pakistan. [[Azme Alishan]] aims to highlight the great Pakistani youth musical talent within Pakistan and all across the world with this televised competition. The TV shows will continue throughout the summer, concluding with the grand finale announcing the winner on August 14th. The competition opened mid-March with a request for all Pakistanis from within and across borders to send in their original national song entries – no song covers were entertained. For the television show, a star studded jury panel has been established which will feature the likes of Pakistani super model Vinnie, the multifaceted Arshad Mahmood and acclaimed music producer and previous member of the legendry band [[Vital Signs (band)| Vital Signs]], Shahzad Hassan (Shahi), Khalid Anwar from [[Aaroh]], [[Najam Shiraz]] and many others as guest judges along with Strings who are the permanent judges.⏎

==Advertising Campaign==

Azme-Alishan’s events are supported by a mass media advertising campaign featuring TV, press, radio and digital ads.   

The advertising campaign used to support the launch events featured Pakistanis burning words such as ‘intolerance’ and ‘division’ in the flames of Diyas, which are increasingly becoming associated with – and symbolic of – the Azme-Alishan initiative itself.
