The World of Noryn

Greetings! This is Noryn Alam, a student of R.L. Patton High School.

I believe that  one act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world. That is my reason for the implementation of these service projects.

Mission:

1.  Broaden our intellectual horizons by promoting thoughful reading, writing, discussion, and brainstorming in our learning community,

2. To go beyond insignificant cross-cultural differences and focus on people's strengths, similarities, and common grounds to create an environment of positive communication.

3. To promote awareness among students and our community through service-learning projects while allowing them to become directly involved in environmental preservaton and help develop important social and life skills.

4. To create environmental awareness and to open a door to the living world while stimulating learning and harmony with nature while focusing and calming, students, teachers, administration, and visitors.

This site is dedicated to all of the projects I am have done or am currently working on in attempt to fuffill my mission.

Each page focuses on the organization and corresponding projects that are being organized by me.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
