Distribution of cash, clothes and soaps in Mardan

Thanks to Madiha Syed and her family and friends in Karachi we distributed Rs. 3000 each among 100 families in different locations of Mardan, i.e, Mashki Killay, Gujjar Garhi, Gaz. We distributed 500 men and 500 women's clothes and soaps in the IDP camp at Tobacco Research Institute. The soaps were a contribution from Quatrina Hussain while the clothes were again Madiha's contribution. The transportation was a contribution of Amna Paracha.

Team: Ghazala Minallah, Falaknaz Asfandyar, Fauzia Minallah accompanied by young students Shiza Shahid, Myra and Tajreen Jafri.

Led by Pir Baba we visited internally displaced in Mashki Killey.

Rows of trees provide the much needed shade and respite from the oppressive heat.

This is what people do when there are no cradles and shelves???

Even at 6.p.m the heat was oppressive and unbearable. Imagine what the displaced must be going through? How do they cope with the heat?
