Details of Relief Activities in Flood Affected Areas

(till September 17th 2010)

1) Trip to Chaarsadda (12th August 2010)

Alhamdulillah me and my volunteer students visited the flood affected areas of
Chaarsadda on 12th August 2010. We visited Deshaano Baba and Solay Kamar that are
located at the bank of River Kabul. The majority houses of these areas were demolished
and people were in miserable condition. We also visited three schools where people were
living in very bad conditions. Mr. Ahmed Jan (Cousin of our student Mr. Abdur-Rehman)
who is resident of Chaarsadda helped us a lot to identify the deserving people. He spent
the whole day with us and helped us to distribute the items to the deserving people.
        We took 400 flour bags and 400 food bags prepared/bought from your donations
and 15 food packages donated by different people. Alhamdulillah, we distributed food
bags and flour bags to more than 345 families in above discussed areas and schools. And
we left 70 Food Bags and 70 Flour Bags with Mr. Ahmed Jan to distribute to families
residing in another school. Next day Mr. Abdur-Rehman told me that those 70 food bags
and 70 Flour Bags were distributed to the deserving families in 4 more Schools
(Alhamdulillah).

2) Trip to Naushehra (19th August 2010)
We visited the flood affected areas of Naushehra on 19th August 2010. We
distributed the Flour Bags and food Bags for four hundred families. We went door to
door in Naushehra Kalaan’s streets (an area badly damaged and demolished on the bank
of river Kabul) and distributed the cards to each family (to avoid duplication). Then we
distributed the flour bags and food bags to the card holders. Alhamdulillah we covered
350 families there (but then due to some problem we had to leave so we confirmed from
people and came to know about the village Peer Sabaak (about 15 Km from Risalpur)
that was fully demolished and one hundred and eighty families were living in a tent
village. So we dropped 50 Bags of Flour and almost 60 Bags of Food Items and almost
800 bottles of mineral water to that Tent Village’s Management to distribute.
    The package contained:
a)      Flour 10Kg
b)      Daal Chana 1Kg

distribution very actively. I am really thankful to them. A large number of volunteers
(students) also participated in all activities of this noble cause. In this severe climate
they participated in Fund Collection, Purchasing of Items, Packaging, Loading and
Distribution. I am really thankful to all of them who participated physically in this
noble cause. I am thankful to you all for your active participation due to which we are
able to help our deserving brothers and sisters. May Almighty Allah Bless all (who
are participating in any way in this way of Allah) with Best Reward (aamin).

On 28th August 2010 we went for our third trip to distribute the Food Items to the
people affected by Flood. First we reached to Naushehra and visited the colony identified
by a resource but we found that colony was in a good state as well as they did not seem
that much needy so we went to Charsadda and found two different locations where

In addition to this our one donor Mr. Shafiq ur Rehman donated 50 large packets of
Flour and Food items for 50 families and 10 liter water canes for 100 families.
We distributed these items in two villages near River Kabul and in one colony near
Saryab.
         In this trip in addition to our regular volunteers, our professional friends were also
with us, who also funded a major part of this trip. A group of friends (like Mr. Aamir
Butt, Mr. Nauman Faridi etc.) who are managing http://helpingINA.org were with us. Mr.
Naveed Butt, Mr. Muhammad Asim, Mr. Khaqan Zafar, Mr. Shahid and Mr. Kashif
Majeed (Old ICBian) also accompanied us in this trip.
All these friends actively participated in all activities of distribution. We are
thankful to them and Pray that Allah Almighty Bless them with Best Reward for their
Niyyats, Donations and Physical effort (aamin).
           
4) Trip to Risalpur and Pir Sabaak (8th September 2010)
Alhamdulillah on 8th September 2010 my volunteers and I visited four schools of
Risalpur where the flood victims were residing. As those were the days of Eid-ul-Fitr and
needs of those people were diversified. Someone needed ration, someone needed
medicine, someone needed shoes and someone was in the need of shawl etc. So we
decided to handover cash amount to the people so that they may fulfill their needs before
EID. Also we had received the Sadqa-e-Fitr from different donors so it was a best way
and best time to pay the Sadqa-e-Fitr to the deserving people.
                      We distributed Rs.2000/family to 132 families in those four schools. In one
school there were 30 families and in addition to Rs.2000/family we provided them with
family size (4mX4m) tents so that they may move to their areas and start building their
homes. After this we went to a tent village in Pir Sabaak and where people were living in
miserable condition in tents. We distributed Rs.3000/family to 34 families.

and were distributed to the flood affected families by the volunteers. Due to the weather
conditions C130 could not land in Skardu after Eid (as I was informed on 16 th September

12) Provision of Medicines to the Medical Teams working in different (Flood

affected) areas.
A group of our friends (of a software house) who always work with full
dedication in different causes and have a very transparent mechanism, were contacted by
me and they informed me that they were working on Food Items but now they have
contacted different medical teams (Doctors and Paramedical staff who normally work
with them) and came to know that in different areas the people are suffering from Gastro,
Eye Infection, Skin Infection and Malaria. So in addition to food and dresses they are
working in medicines. So we participated in this area through provision of medicines of
Rupees Two Hundred thousand only.
