Earthquake Relief Fund
Some 42 hours ago, tragedy struck Pakistan in the most horrific proportions we have seen in our country's history. The magnitude of the disaster appears to be growing as we speak. With an estimated death toll of over 18,000, one thing is certain - we need to respond and respond immediately.
Association for the Development of Pakistan (ADP) has set up a website for Earthquake Relief at DevelopPakistan.org where we are collecting online donations for Edhi Foundation and the President's Earthquake Relief Fund, which are uniquely qualified to mount the kind of large-scale response that is needed. The web site also has information on how to contribute to other NGOs engaged in relief efforts. Over the course of the coming days, we will add more information on how you can respond to this catastrophe within your local communities.
Please give generously to help the thousands affected by this disaster, and do encourage your friends, both Pakistani and non-Pakistani, to help. All donations via our web site will be deductible for US tax purposes.
Best regards,

Edhi Foundation
Run by Abdul Sattar Edhi, one of the most respected philanthropists in Pakistam, Edhi Foundation has a long history of providing welfare services and emergency relief throughout Pakistan. Mr. Edhi is personally directing relief efforts from Islamabad right now, and has told ADP that their helicopters have already begun airlifting supplies and medicines to the affected areas.
President's Relief Fund
Given the scale of the disaster and the remoteness of the affected areas, the government is uniquely positioned to provide immediate relief. President Musharraf has set up a fund dedicated to earthquake relief and has encouraged people to contribute to the effort. He has also guaranteed complete transparency and accountability in the use of funds.

Comments on this journal
a wonderful person from biogen has collected $5 mil of free medication to send to Pakistan's most affected areas, and he is trying to raise $25,000 to send the medicine there, if any of you would like to contribute to this please let me know
also a lot of the rescue teams/donations are not reaching the smaller cities that are most affected due to difficult or no access to those areas, I encourage you all to donate to Edhi since they have local centers for distribution already in place in these areas,
and people who know me may feel comfortable enough to contribute as I am sending money to my grand father (who lives in this area) as I believe it would be easier for him to provide donations where they are needed most
may Allah provide His peace and blessings on All of you that have contributed so generously. Ameen
Thanks
