Beggar at Ghazi Chowk

By ZEERAK AHMED

Plea.

14 Aug 2010

To everybody in the world. We know you hate our government. And perhaps hate us and our whole story, but supposedly messed up ideals have no involvement in a natural disaster that is worse than the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake, the 2004 Tsunami and the 2010 Haitian earthquake combined. People have now been drenched for weeks, cut off from food supplies, electricity and clean water. The muddy water they drink carries the rubble of their homes, and perhaps the remains of family members. We try. And we know we do things wrong. But if you could see college students out on the streets collecting whatever they can, if perhaps you could see beyond the stereotype, you might change your mind. Until then though, please donate somehow, some way if you know a Pakistani and you know they are not evil. This is one sad independence day, and we await another calamity. Please help us fight this one. I thank you.
