On October 8, 2005 at 08:52 hours a powerful earthquake struck the northern part of Pakistan causing major destruction and playing havoc with millions of lives. The affected areas were the five districts of North West Frontier Province and four districts of Azad Jammu & Kashmir. More than 70,000 people lost their lives out of those 35,000 were children who were attending schools at that time. Most of the civil society infrastructure such as schools, colleges and hospitals were destroyed and require immediate attention.

Pakistan, the country immensely rich in history came into existence on 14th Aug 1947. It is a land of soaring mountains, wild rivers, fiery deserts, sparkling lakes and sandy beaches. Throughout the ages it has been cradle of some of the greatest civilizations world has known beginning with pre-historic Indus Valley Civilization.

We request the world community to donate generously for rebuilding of educational and health facilities in the earthquake affected areas.
