Our Mission	Hamzaboon has set out to: Establish an Economic identity for Iranians and Persian Speakers at large, in particular expatriates living in the United States. Be a place that unconditionally supports and respects freedom of speech, thought, expression, religion and more. Offer convenient web based tools to Hamzaboons at no cost.
Why is our Mission Important?	Establishing an Economic Identity Most Hamzaboons arrived in the United States with little more than our luggage, an entry Visa and a world of dreams. To say the least, the past two decades have been tumultuous ones. Despite the odds, our community is shining and can quite possibly be the most successful community that has ever immigrated to the United States. As a whole however, we have gone unnoticed. As if this now very affluent and influential community has truly melted in the United States melting pot. By establishing an Economic Identity, we will not melt away. Organizations will recognize our economic prowess and special programs will be made for Iranians, in both for-profit and non-profit circles. The first action we took toward establishing an Economic Identity was to offer the Hamzaboon MasterCard® credit card from MBNA America Bank . The principal subsidiary of MBNA Corporation, MBNA America, a national bank with $90 billion in managed loans, and is the largest independent credit card lender in the world. Not only it feels good to shop with a card adorned with pictures of Iran, but also with every purchase we are shouting, "Yes, We've made it!", letting the world know that Iranians are a successful group. Also, always giving back to the community, the Hamzaboon MasterCard credit card helps generate donations to the Child Foundation to support their efforts in helping children stay in school. Their efforts provide educational needs, medical help, food and other services to talented, needy children. (http://www.childfoundation.org) If you find this cause as Nobel as we do, please assist us by letting your friends and colleagues know about the Hamzaboon site and the Hamzaboon MasterCard An Unconditionally Open Site We chose the name Hamzaboon to emphasize the fact that all one needs to participate in this site is to speak Persian or have interest in those who do. Regardless or our personal, political or religious preferences, or where in Iran we came from, we all speak Persian. In fact, our language spans beyond Iran into Afghanistan, the old Soviet Republics and a small part of China. So by focusing on the fact that we all have a common language, the site can be open to all, regardless of personal, religious and political beliefs. Hence, the freedom of speech is doubly meaningful as it allows people to exchange ideas that might be from opposite ends of the spectrum, as opposed to a unified message, aligned with the message of any given site. Hamzaboon.com has no specific message, except to say, we are a community, we are as diverse as any community in the world and we now have a forum and a place to be recognized. A Free Internet Center At www.hamzaboon.com, members: Receive their own permanent email address (your-user-name@hamzaboon.com) Receive their own web based calendar, complete with public calendars, group access and more Can create their own mailing lists.
