There was a moment of panic when we were told that the terrorists are in the crowd during distribution in Labour colony. Thank god it turned out to be a widow in a black burqa.

Madiha Syed and the guards who were there to protect us.

It is sad but security is the main concern of all those who are working with the internally displaced.Guarding his family pack!!

Shirin Bibi finished colouring a page
Cutie pie loved the toy we distributed

Naseem with her books and a pot to fetch water
Sadia holding the books while Naseem balances the pot with water on her head
Maybe she will find time to do some colouring after fetching water !

Maybe she will go to school someday. Maybe her security and well being is the RESPONSIBILTY of her government. Maybe she will grow up in a world where she is not a tiny pawn in bigger games.
