collection booth for the Monsoon flood victims of Pakistan. A number of big-hearted people donated clean drinking water and medicine for their brothers and sisters rapt in flood waters and living a miserable life. This booth collected water and medicine from July 21 to July 30, 2007 at University road, opposite Fatima Hospital, Sargodha, Pakistan. ROD activists along with other volunteers took an active part in this flood relief camp.
July and August are the Monsoon season in the Indo-Pak sub-continent. Days are long, warm and humid. It rains heavily almost every day. Due to these heavy rains water level in the rivers and water reservoirs raises turning into ruinous floods.
people lose their homes, cattle, crops, precious belongings and loved ones because of the heavy rains and floods. Approximately 80% of the Pakistani populace live in villages, near water canals or rivers and they depend entirely on
agriculture for their bread and butter. River and canal system of Pakistan is the world\u2019s biggest and most complex system. These villagers live their simple lives in mud houses. They work hard, grow the crops, and feed their families and whole Pakistan. These villagers rarely get any good out of the government policies.
Monsoon rains, and floods resulting form these rains are a part of the season cycle in Pakistan. But government and her organizations fail every year to warn the people on time, living in endangered areas. System of rescue, and, food and water distribution is futile as well. In most of the cases officials fail to spot, rescue or provide nutritional or medical help to the flood victims. Scattered dead bodies of the cattle and other animals not only make the air malodorous but a perfect medium to spread diseases as well.
Rays of development Organization took up the Challenge and decided to help their Pakistani brethren, come hell or high waters. To help the flood stricken ROD launched a flood relief camp and collected a respectable quantity of medicine and water through the donations of munificent men and women. ROD handed over these gifts to the Tehsil Nazim (Head of District Govt) Malik Shoaib Awan. Moreover ROD conducted a prayer meeting for the flood victims.
