Relief Operations in Pakistan
Today, Oct 15th we set out to visit the effected areas of the North West Frontier Province in Pakistan. Our first stop was Abbotabad where the earthquake damage to the buildings started to be visible. We drove on towards the town of Mansehra where we met the local NGOs who have been very active in providing relief to the victims immediately after the earthquake. They were very generous and kind in towards us, as were all the other people on our journey.
Something wonderful and unexpected happened on our visit, I was greeting the many volunteers when an old man came up to me and told me my mothers address in England. I was surprised and when i asked him how he knew he held my hand and said he was a neighbour of my mother and has seen me there on my visits. This was in a place 140 KM from Islamabad, middle of nowhere and here was a man in his seventies who knew my mother in England. It was a miracle, he was a very respected man in the organisation and he made sure they all knew we were to be treated as special guests. Waheguru.. To continue goto khalsaaidsevadar.blogspot.com
