An Update from a 2008 Alumnus…
Following is the brief of some activities conducted after the kind visit of Ma’am Baela of ITA and,
later on her trainers to our village:
1. A network of 17 schools was established at the relief camps
involving the children of IDPs as students. The salaries of the
teachers was sponsored by Rotary Club Peshawar New City while the
training and one full school kit along with a number of accessories
were donated by ITA. Eight schools are still operational.
2. Food bags comprising 7 food items sufficient for one month were
distributed among 500 families in Collaboration with SHARED.
3. A full Eid Dinner was served to 200 families on the night of Eid as
well as 700 sets of Bengals along with cones of Hina were distributed
among young girls of the camp. The event was covered by GEO TV.
4. A total of six sewing machines were delivered through lotting among
the IDP’s on the night of Eid sponsored by a friend.
5. New ready made dresses for Eid were distributed among 500 children
of IDPs Camps at Tangi with the support of ITA and Fauzia Minallah (A
renowned social worker of Pakistan)
6. We are in a process to establish 40 water hand pumps at the
devastated villages with the support of Rotray Club Lahore Shaheen.
Survey and feasiblity have been done while the rest is in process.
7. A group of Pakistani American musicians visited Charsadda Camp in
the company of Beena Raza of ITA who not only conducted various
activities but also distributed 700 school bags, Eid Gifts etc among
the IDP’s. The head of the Group Dr. Noaman recognize my school net
work program and pledged for 750 school bags for the children studying
there.
As you know its a long very process since the devastation is of epic
proportion, it will take a long time to restore the situation. We are
planning as well as coordinating with a number of organization
including UNHCR, UNICEF and UN-HABITAT for reconstruction of damaged
houses as this towering task can not only be tackled by the government
or individuals. I am sure that if your moral support and ecnouragement
is accompanied, we would be able to come out of this disaster even
better than before.
Thanks and best regards
