Flood Relief Phase 3

Third Visit to Dera Kai, Aman Kot

We went to Dera Kai today, on the way we felt that things appears to be improving but that is only opening few more shops as compared to our last visit on 6^th and 12^th August. The mud being washed away perhaps by the rain or by the people who are trying to get back to their daily routine. Normality is still a long way away.

This time we picked up Ceena School & Degree College at Pabbi just outside Nowshera on the main GT road towards Peshawar. The building has Four floors, a roof and Seventy five rooms, toilets etc.

We had a detailed meeting with Mr.Ghulam Nabi Ceena Managing Director and understand from him that they are housing some 350 families in the school. All these families are coming from the neighboring areas like Aman Kot, Mohib Banda (The most effected Area) and other surroundings. Food is given to the affectees on regular basis. There were mostly ladies who appeared to be well looked after in quite safe surrounding since we noticed police presence at the school premises. Commissioner from Peshawar was also visiting the school probably finding where to house them since the school is going to open soon.

Our observation was that the school premises were kept quite clean but still every other person was catching the viral diseases like eye sore, skin rash and stomach upset.

We handed over the goods worth Rs, 1,50000 (One hundred fifty thousands). Giving them in bulk was also a kind of supporting and a token of appreciation to what they were doing over there. We also handed over clothing’s for the needy and to be distributed later according to the required sizes.
