Dear Friends,

The Chowrangi magazine team would like to put first-person accounts of the earthquake, its aftermath, and relief efforts up on our website (www.chowrangi.org), as well as publish some in our upcoming issue (with
permission). Please send on any accounts and stories that you have received. We hope this will do some justice to the amazing love, courage and resilience shown by the people of Pakistan.
