"Be aware of the time that you find yourself in an unexpected and or defensive situation. You may feel surprised, confused, or unfairly judged. Move yourself to a higher level and away from thoughtlessness, and offensive or defensive behavior. Otherwise, you may say or do something inappropriate and reget later. Your Smile, positive attitude, composure, calmness, and often silence are signs of strength,wisdom, and confidence and will bring you respect, trust, happiness, and many good friends. Have a great day. Mahmoud Bambouyani. - at Okinawa

Sima Bambouyani |
My daughter Sima was born on Jly 27th 1992. So we will be celebrating Sima's birth day Wednesday July 28th 2010. 6:00 PM at the ITKA Headquarters 5945 Irving Park Road in Chicago. Losing mother and sister for Sophia and Mike and wife and child for me has been one of the most devestating experiences. We lost Sima and zahra (my wife) on December 2003 in a tragic earthquake in Bam while they were visiting. They were scheduled to return at 8:30 AM. but the Eartquake struck at 5:28 AM. Killed them along with many family and friends !
Please keep us in your prayers. Shihan Bambouyani, Mike and Sophia
