Re: OT: Plea for Pakistan Flood Victoms.

Haroon,

Thanks for the reply. I have put a flood relief camp in Karachi where we are
clocting Clothes, Medicines, Dry food items and other things however since
this is an international forum and the most conveniant way for all of them
to help is to donate through some NGO/UN Org online. Even a 10$ 2 click
donation will make a huge difference!

Humanity First!
