Pakistan’s Flood Disaster: They Need Our Help! We Need To Act Now!

Dear Friends!

The devastation in Pakistan is catastrophic.

According to the UN, floodwaters have affected 20 million Pakistanis. Over 1,500 people have died and 800,000 have lost their homes. Pakistan’s government reports that 10% of this nation of 180 million is now destitute and 20% of Pakistan’s land is submerged by the contaminated floodwaters.

The catastrophe according to UN Secretary General, Ben Ki Moon who after quickly assessing the devastation publicly proclaimed via ABC News that "the magnitude of the problem; the world has never seen such a disaster. It's much beyond anybody's imagination," he said. "This is a long-term affair; this is a two-year campaign. We have to consider that and keep that in mind." He continues, "For two years we've got to give them crops, fertilisers; we've got to give them seed; we've got to look after them, feed them, for two years, to bring them back to where they were. And they will still not be where they were."

This is the time where we need to collectively stand together and help those who are clearly cut off from the rest of the world.

Please help. It is during these times that we should band together in the true spirit of humanity.

"May God give you..for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer." – Irish Blessing.

Thank you!
