The news for the past few days is that JFK is filled beyond capacity with donated goods and that PIA is having to turn back donations.

The DC area community, led by Azar Abbasi, Farah Chohan and a large number of volunteers have been spending their weekends loading and unloading donations from the community.

URGENT: Appeal for young medical doctors

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 04:40:23 -0500

URGENT: Young medical doctors needed for medical team working with SUNGI out of Muzaffarabad.

I post this on behalf of a close friend who just called me from Muzzaffarabad, where he is working with SUNGI. SUNGI urgently needs medical doctors and/or final year medical students as part of a medical team to *travel by foot for several hours* to outlying villages beyond Muzaffarabad that *have not been accessed at all* as they are only accessibly by foot, and where individuals and families need urgent medical help.
