Update;
By the grace of the Almighty, we've been able to manage 100k+ (From Defence.pk only) for the second phase of the relief effort. InshAllah we plan to leave for Peshawer by Thursday/Friday. Relief items would be purchased prior to our departure for Peshawer.
I urge all members to actively take part in this noble cause. Just today I was hearing on the news that Pakistan's 2010 Flood has been much worse than Tsunami. Our brothers and sisters effected by this great tragedy are desperately waiting for relief to show up.
Its our duty to take care of our own and Ramadan is just around the corner. What better way to use Zakat than helping out the disaster-struck refugees?
Furthermore, I've been in contact with
Jiya Sehr and if all goes well at her side, she'll be joining me for Phase-II of the relief efforts. She'd be handling the medicines and she's also trying her level best to get some doctors on board for this relief mission.
Phase-I was organized by a close-knit community from Pakistan called
PakGuns. Now that you all have seen what team effort can do, its up to us to join hands together in this time of need. Phase-I kicked off after this thread here;
PakGuns Fund for Flood Affectees. Urgent Attention Required!!! (Page 1) - Club House - PakGuns.Com
InshAllah as planned, the relief items for Phase-II from
Defence.Pk and
PakGuns.com will reach the refugees by Thursday/Friday. Phase-II is a joint collaboration between Defence.Pk and PakGuns.com.
God Bless Pakistan!
