The early Muslims are credited with inventing distillation and could distil just about anything - from alcohol to perfume. Hygiene is very important so they invented and manufactured soap - centuries before the West - and hundreds of bathhouses were built throughout Muslim cities. They understood the fundamentals of light and how we see, and gave us the camera obscura. They invented algebra and worked out the angle of the tilt of the earth. They built the first windmill, pioneered the concept of the crank rod, and designed the first ever torpedo. Muslim creativity also led to the invention of a unique instrument called the astrolabe,it could find the direction of Mecca, tell the time and, with the help of the stars, navigate you across deserts and oceans. But perhaps most important of all they pursued the cause of knowledge, translating and preserving the works of the ancients and building the world's largest libraries their 'houses of wisdom'.

Knowledge is power. Education is the key to our future and the evolution of society. In this day and age, there are still places in the world where the ducation of girls is not encouraged or even offered. Within the lower classes of East India, illiterate girls are perceived as more useful as physical laborers than as educated contributors to society. The Sulaxmi School for Girls in Lucknow, India was founded with the intention to change the course of the young and in many cases homeless girls' lives through basic education...one at a time. Recognizing the need to support education for the girls, Lisa Kamen has dedicated her time, resources and energy to see the simple gift of education reach as many girls as possible.
