Connecting old disaster to new disaster

Above is the picture of our females embroidery center in Jabber Gali. We are going to use our best trained females to sew the clothing for the flood affected children of village Dobar.
In this way the earthquake affected community of Jabber Gali is now helping us to response to flood affected people of village Dobar.
We have already got the sizes of the children clothing and we are in the process of getting material from Lahore.

We also visited our on going projects in earthquake affected area.













We visited our home under construction in Shinkiari
We met with the widows families of our home building project. We responded to their immediate needs by installing new screen doors and screen for the windows. We also provided warm blankets for this up coming winter.
Our fruit trees are doing great. We had a great crop this summer. All the fruit has been picked from this tree. But this is representative of the size of our fruit trees, as you rememeber we planted ove 14,000 like this.

Making assessment of this widows home.
We have been working with widow's family for the last year. We are providing medical care to her son who is suffering with epilepsy. Her only daughter shown on the right has a polio and cannot walk.
We supplied a weeks worth of food to her family.

  1. Thanks for the update. I think it is awesome that Waheed's village is able to assist the flood victims in this way. Waheed, it is great to see your picture and I hope your family is doing well! I pray God will continue to use ORR to bless the many people of your village and the people of Pakistan.
