HELPPAKISTAN.NET is mobilising, coordinating, training citizen volunteers. We’re a central coordinator. Please go to the website.

DONATE A little: $5, 10, 15.... https://www.fundable.org/groupactions/GivePakistan/
The money is being collected by me - Ramla aka flyhighkites.

I am also collecting cash at PAF museum.. we’ve organized into OPERATON LABBAIK.
random account of Operation Labbaik here:

--------------
YEsterday october11, i went to PAF museum. There are two bases
there, base 1 camp was very organized, i heard. But i
landed at Base 2 which was very chaotic. Tons and tons
of goods - and thousands of clueles voluntees. After
wandering around awhile myself, i decided to organize.


With the help of 4-5 key "managers" - we formed
OPERATION LABBAIK. Labbaik means, "I’m here (in answer
to your call)!"

I thought up: what’s needed to be shipped first?

SO we divided inventory in:
1. Kafan/ burial wrap. Tents
2. Ready-to-eat Liquid group: milk, water, juices,
tea, instant milk
3. ready-to-eat solid group: dates, canned foods,
biscuits, cooked food, bread, candy, chocolate, energy
bar, etc

4. energy: candles, mathces, torch, battery, etc
5. uncooked rations: rice, lentils/ pulses, flour,
sugar
6. Hygiene: soap, shampoo, etc.
7. medicine (over to a camp with qualified parameds
and doctors)
8. Clothes/ blankets: over to the camp that dealt with
them
9. Packers; got qualified factors packers
10. labelers
11. quality control
12. hunting party (to identify and sort the huge
unsorted mess). locate misplaced items
13. guides - some great ladies who
14. coordination desk - info, tapes, markers, lights,
etc at one desk
15. human chain. standing at order to carry

Everyone was given an ORIENTATION as they entered the
area
i designated qualified engineers and factory owners as
managers. Some girls were the criers of the group,
marching everyone in order. energetic boys were in
charge of their line.

Once the group got organized, they did a great job and
in their own territory, they devised new rules. after
a couple of hours, i only did managemetn by running
around, and they gave expert advice.
