Necessary supplies to the IDPs

We are having a flood of refugees (IDPs) come to our camp in Dadar. This is showing you some of the supply we are buying for them along with food and water. Also we are hiring as many as we can to help us cleanup the buildings that are in serious disrepair. Some are helping dig our septic tank for toilets





The crisis here is getting worse not better, what is presented in the media is not accurate.
They are saying that things are good in Swat and that the refugees can return. But no one is returning. Many have told us they want to stay in Dadar for one year.
The Taliban has said that if the IDPs who fled the area return they will kill them.

So the need for resources to handle the situation is very big and will take a long time and we are the only NGO working in the area.
This is the front line in the war on terror.

    We continue to pray for you; for your physical strength, emotional, and spiritual. I know the needs are overwhelming and hope you can make a way to get some rest. We're praying for W.'s baby, his brother (regular rest and meals needed there...) and his family situation. May He continue to be your strength and protection. Our sister, C., has also been facing challenges there. We carry you in our hearts and before our Father.
