Dear Sana,

Let me be the first to welcome you to this place (unless t somehow manages to change the temporal flux shielding, thereby increasing the magnetic poleron emitter to increase the warp plasma conduits to release a burst of tachyon beam…err as in getting there before me).

Liked the poem but for me, the subject was a case of `been there, done that.` Then again, there`s no such thing as original literature; it`s about the way you rehash it.

What I would like to know is, and please forgive me if it sounds rude or intrusive in any manner, but how much are you willing to sacrifice or work towards to make sure that some of those unfortunate ones do not suffer a bad fate. If you do not wish to say anything, I would understand. I merely ask this question to learn something.

I don`t know how the system works but if feasible, would it be possible to set up a separate section on Chowk which deals specifically with Charitable organisations, NGOs etc, their contacts, history, their missions, their annual reports, people`s experiences in working for charities, outcomes, useful ideas and so forth. I`m sure we could all contribute a little bit at a time to this particular spot and eventually give rise to something that may actually have practical implications.

PS (and this is just for the sake of learning) but would anyone know of any strictly Pakistani based (endogenous) organisations that actually send the volunteers to the site of action as opposed to the usual donations.

Take care and best wishes.

UMP.
