HOPE’S Eid-ul-Adha Qurbani At Thatta, Sujawal, Badin With HCI’s Assistance & With Assistance Of Other Supporters Of HOPE

The aim of sacrifice, like all other fundamentals of Islam, is to imbibe piety and self righteousness. It also promotes the spirit of sacrifice for a right cause.                       

There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Eid al-Adha than the sacrificing of animals. Sacrifice, as practised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is an essential religious rite of the Muslims – replicating and comemorating  the sacrifice performed by Prophet Ibraham in its truest spirit and essence. God put Prophet Ibraham to a most difficult trial, the details of which are described in the Quran.

Giving meat to the poor and destitute as required when doing Qurbani spreads happiness so they may also enjoy the event of Eid-ul-Adha as a time of celebration and festivities.

Keeping that in mind HOPE, an NGO in Pakistan, with the assistance of its supporters especially HCI of Canada, has  once again upheld Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi with great reverence and performed qurbani at its Hospitals and centre in Thatta, Sujawaland Badin, and has done its utmost to spread  this happiness to the poor and destitute of rural Sindh. Sacrifice of half a dozen cows and as many goats have been done and all the meat equitably distributed amongst the poor of the adjoining areas.

Objectives:

To distribute qurbani/sacrificial meat to the poor and needy of the rural communities of Thatta, Badin, Sujawal under special instructions from Dr Mubina Agboatwalla,child specialist in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE.

To sacrifice two selected cows in each of the three cities of Sindh where HOPE’s presence is very prominent. This activity will be guided  and managed by Dr MubinaAgboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi.
The spirit behind this activity was  not only to provide meat to the very poor who can normally very rarely afford meat in their diets but to also encompass them in the true spirit of the celebration of  Eid-ul-Adha ~  and at the same time spread the essence of piety and humbleness and set an example for other financially endowed  people to step forward and help the needy not just during the Eid-ul-Adha celebration but on a continous basis.

HOPE’s Campaign For Clean Drinking Water For Flood Affectees Of Punjab

In  conjunction to the ration distribution and  medical camps / assistance that will be provided to the flood affected and displaced families of Muzaffargarh, lower Punjab, HOPE an NGO inPakistan, will also simultaneously  continue its campaign of providing pure drinking water to  the flood affectees. Although HOPE, a healthoriented NGO, with assistance of its esteemed partner P&G, has relentlessly worked in rural areas of Sindh and Punjab to provide pure drinking water and thus safe-guard the health of the general population, will be setting up stations in various locations to  demonstrate the usage of P&G’s purifier of water and to advise its short and long term  health-benefits.

It goes without saying that the one major reason for all kinds  of diseases rampant in rural Pakistan is because of dirty. contiminated and often toxic water that people are forced to consume. Healthy, pure, clean water is not accessible to them

This relief expedition  intiated by DrMubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE, is of great importance as a large area and a vast population is targeted for not just providing emphasis and awareness of the health benefits of consuming pure, clean water and how this would save them from many life-threatening diseases but also provide them with demonstrations in proper use of P&G’s purifier of water  and proper filtration procedures. A very large number of water buckets, water coolers along with sachets of P&G’s purifier of water will be distributed amongst the population free of charge, as per instructions and directions of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi

HOPE's Flood Relief Appeal

HOPE, an NGO in Pakistan, has been working for the benefit of the poor and needy women and children in the urban areas of Karachi as well as rural Sindh. Main activities of HOPE, are focused on Health and Education. HOPE has very actively taken part in the relief operation during the floods in 2010, extending from KPK in the north, Punjab as well as Sindh. In 2011 floods, the worst affected District in Sindh was Badin with the affected population rising to 1,021,301. Other Districts such as T.M Khan, Mirphurkhas and Tharpakar were also among the worst affected.

 The monsoons as per their  yearly cycle visited the Indo-Pakistan sub-continent yet again. This time with much more venom than in the previous years. The devastating floods that the rains unleashed have broken all  previous records of the last quarter of a century. The destruction so far caused  has been unprecedented in terms of loss of property and standing crops but in terms of  human lives lost it has been far worse ~ more than 300 precious lives have so far been lost in the current floods in Punjab alone. And more rains are expected to lash the upper regions of  Punjab and Azad Kashmir.Authorities warned hundreds of thousands more to be prepared to flee their homes as helicopters and boats raced to save marooned victims. The catastrophe is far worst than the flooding of 2010 which killed 1,700 people. Pakistani troops have been using boats and helicopters to drop food supplies for stranded families and evacuate victims. However, the challenge of the situation grows as more than 1.5 million people are now affected as the rushing waters have destroyed the homes of thousands of families. The floods have triggered landslides in Kashmir, and caused much devastation in northern and eastern Pakistan. The rains washed away houses, bridges, communication equipment and crops. Pakistani  troops have so far evacuated more than 40,000 people. They are in dire need of emergency relief, in the form of medical care, food and shelter ration and safe drinking water. The displaced people, especially women and young children, are being affected by various waterborne illnesses like diarrhea, gastroenteritis, skin infection, and so on. In addition, as the number of IDPs rise, so does the need for food and safe drinking water.

Given its vast experience in emergency relief management, and the guidance of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE, teams comprising of doctors, paramedics and social workers to the affected areas are being sent to provide urgent attention. Emergency medical care will be provided, food and  ration will be distributed and safe drinking water will be made accessible.

Teams made as per instructions of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialistin Karachi and chairperson of HOPE, have been sent to major schools and other institutions in Karachi to spread  awareness of the intensity  of current  floods that have virtually gripped the whole country and the anticipated after-effects the flood –affectees are likely to  face  ~ and also to solicit donations and assistance for this cause.
