Two weeks of hectic preparation resulted finally in the departure
of HOPE’s team to Muzaffargarh, by road, on Oct 09,2014. Before embarking on a grueling non-stop
journey of fourteen hours HOPE’s team made
absolutely sure that all supplies
including medicines were in order and properly placed on the trucks for easy
and systematic unloading and eventual distribution amongst the needy flood affectees.
In keeping with its goals and traditions, HOPE, an NGO in Pakistan, with the assistance of its supporters made this whole-hearted, meaningful
effort of going all the way from Karachi to distribute much needed ration and
supplies to poor and needy families of Muzzafargarh, devasted in the recent
floods and without any means of sustenanace. With a formal school already in
existence in Muzaffargarh, HOPE was in a much better position to control and
regulate the distribution of relief goods that was brought in from Karachi.
All supplies were individually packed with dry food such as
wheat flour, sugar, pulses, dry milk and cooking oil etc. Medical supplies were
transported separately.
In preparation of this
important event HOPE a health oriented NGO in Pakistan, with the help of its numerous generous
supporters had gathered together a very substantial quantity of rations and
medical supplies, enough to last each recipient displaced family till
their safe return home and their full rehabilitation. On reaching
Muzaffargarh, two areas, already identified as more seriously damaged by the
floods, were selected for setting up camps for orderly distribution of the relief goods and rations. The recipients were
grateful for the relief rations they received
and also for much needed medicines and
medical help that was dispensed to them.
HOPE’s
chairperson, Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi, has always
been the guiding force in organizing and implementing such relief activities
with great success. Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi,
personally participated in the relief efforts and in this case too, she travelled all the way to the rural areas of
Muzaffargarh to ensure that the relief activity is carried out with efficiency
and maximum number of flood affectees are benefitted.
