Last week PTPI sent more than $2,000 to our fellow members in Punjab, Pakistan in support of their efforts to assist those suffering after the recent floods.  Here is a report from Adnan Shahzad, President of the Punjab Chapter, on the progress they are making:

Currently PTPI’s Punjab, Pakistan Chapter is executing relief efforts at four different locations in Taru Jabba.  We are helping 16 families to rebuild their homes so that they can live there instead of in tents on the roadsides.

Each family received PK.Rs: 50,000 (approximately $600 USD)

16 x 50,000 = Prs: 800,000 (approximately $9,600 USD)

The funds were disbursed by PTPI’s Punjab, Pakistan Chapter.

In the second stage we are going to send supplies of food items.  I really want to thank all of you for your support and contributions.  We are looking for more help from our PTPI family.

We are enormously pleased to announce that another $4,600 in financial support has been pledged by members of our PTPI family.  Special thanks to the following:

• PTPI’s Cheonan, South Korea Chapter
• Mr. Genci Mucaj and PTPI’s Tirana, Albania
• PTPI’s Greater Kansas City, Missouri USA Chapter
• PTPI’s Bern, Switzerland Chapter
• People to People International – Europe
• Ms. Lois Colwell (USA)
• Mrs. Ruth Allen (USA)
• Mr. Charlie Cheng and PTPI’s Tainan, Taiwan Chapter
