Flood Relief Update

Thanks to the recent contribution of Sue and Sarwat from Dubai. We need more people to contribute generously. Flood waters have started receding and reconstruction work has started. Please contact sha68pk@yahoo.com for donations in Australia. All donations are sent directly to relief workers in different parts of the country affected by floods.

So far this cause has contributed to supporting 20 families in a small village near Nowshehra, Punjab, provided rations to refugee families in Karachi flood camps, contributed to relief goods sent from Australia and arranged water purifiers in Pakistan.

Aqua tabs are the preferred brands used for purifying water in Pakistan's flood areas. These are only supplied to international aid agencies for bulk orders. These can be arranged in Pakistan for reliable relief workers and NGOs. Small amounts are also available for donation purpose to volunteer groups who can ensure their proper use.
