Pakistan Floods: Generosity from Physicans and Nurses

Thankyou to two Canadian and one Hongkong Physician and his wife. for incredibly generous individual donations to Rose Charities Canada for Pakistan Emergency relief totaling over $5000. The media has been reporting 'slow response' to this crisis - not so with these incredibly generous individuals. In addition, two previous volunteer nurses immediately stepped up an volunteered to be go to assist with the relief. For security reasons the offers were not taken up, but the speed and spirit with which the offers came were very touching and appreciated.

Relief efforts continue through partners 'Frontier Primary Health Care' who have had medical and other support team working full time from the beginning of the crisis
