The earthquake’s  that hit Pakistan in 2005 and 2008 were regarded as the worst tragedy for the nation. Few have realized that the recent floods have in fact caused more damage then those earthquake’s did. As per latest reports official figures stand at 1600 dead and 12 million left homeless.
The Monsoon rains began two weeks ago and have washed away roads, bridges and communications lines, hampering rescue efforts by aid organizations and the government. The downpours have grounded many aircraft trying to rescue people and ferry aid, including six helicopters manned by US troops on secondment from Afghanistan.
Currently 30,000 Pakistan Army troops are busy in rescue and relief efforts. Where as the Earthquake of 2005 and 2008 and the IDP crisis were devastating, unlike the Flooding they were contained within a geographic area. Flooding has been reported from Kyhber-Pakthunkwa all they way down to Southern Punjab and  Sindh.
There is only so much the government and the armed forces can do in the face of such a massive disaster and so we as citizens have undertaken the mantle of trying to add our little drop to the ocean/
To that end, SA Relief operating under the aiegus of Paksef has joined hands with Motorclub of Pakistan, and  Off-Roaders Pakistan to collect funds for flood relief victims starting with areas surrounding Moro, Sindh by distributing car packets.
Each care packet will contain 20 kg flour, 2 kg  dal, 1 kg oil, and 3 kg rice,. Based on current market rates each packet will costs 920 PKR (Pakistani Rupees), that is around 13 USD (U.S. Dollars).
What we need is your help in raising funds, please donate generously. Zakat is accepted as well.
Donations can be made one of two ways:

Hi, I have to say fantastic blog you have, I found it in AOL. How do you get your traffic? Are you doing any SEO?
I have already been sailing online even more than about three hours today, still I didn’t come across a straightforward write-up just like your own. It is really fairly worth enough for me. I really believe, if all of website owners and blog writers created such decent content just like you did, the net will likely be far more helpful than ever before.
