   Dear friends,

   This is the project completion notification for Flood Relief Efforts (Phases I-VI). With the generous support received from all over the world, APPEC was able to raise a handsome figure of 42,826 Euro. The details can be tracked via following link:http://www.durabledevelopment.com/appec/category/success-stories/

   The project was carried out in six different phases that are summarized below:

   Phase I: EUR 5459/=
   major source: Regular APPEC donors

   Phase II: EUR 3360/=
   major source: Fund raising in Finland by Finish Pakistani Friendship Organization (FPFO)

   Phase III: EUR 10,000/=
   major source: Fund raising in mosques in Orléans, France

   Phase IV: EUR 6990 + 11707
   major source: Fund raising in mosques during Eid-ul-Fitar in FranceÂ

   Phase V: EUR 2392/=
   major source: Fund raising in universities in France

   Phase VI: EUR 2918/=
   major source: Fund raising in Kaiserslautern, Germany

   APPEC would like to extend gratitude to everyone for generous donations and selfless efforts. Despite the collection of such a huge amount, the project would have remained in vain without the tiring efforts of Signalianz and JAWAN teams who actually took responsibility of executing field operations in the flood afflicted areas. They deserve real appreciation who made possible the dispersal of relief items to the victims.

   Besides the monetary help, APPEC was also able to ship relief items (tents, cloths, nutriments, medicines, …) to Pakistan in multiple sessions, where consignees were APPEC/Signalianz/JAWAN teams and AAJ TV fund relief programs. The free of cost transport for these shipments was realized by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).

   Special thanks to the key people in APPEC management for streamlining the delivery of relief items from France to Pakistan, for managing funds and tracking the end to end transactions, and all distinguished members of APPEC for their fruitful brain-storming added to the success of the project.

   We would like to request your continue support in future. Please think of joining APPEC and take part in the success of the Post-Flood Relief Operations that we are planning to kick-off very soon.

   Please also have a look on our running projects, especially the thalassimia project for bone-marrow transplantation of a 3yr old that needs an immediate attention for your near-future donations.

   Yours sincerely,
   Dr. Muzammil Shahbaz
   General Secretary APPEC

   Objet : RE: Winter Protection effort in Jampur – Fazilpur – Rajhanpur

   Dear All;
   On 23rd and 24th of October, we along with Mrs Qureshi, set out to ditrbute 100 family-sized tents and 1000 quilts (razai) anticipating a need for winter protective gear with the changing weather. The region visited (jampur to rojhan belt) stands out as the worst affected region in terms of the affectd population (nearly 35 lacs), all of them being the poorest of the country. On this trip we were shocked to see the lack of any significant aid in this region, from our governement or by other humanitarian group. Its as if this region, with the neediest people has conveniently been forgotten, just because its hard to reach. We were re-visiting these place after almost 2 months ( we carried out food relief in these areas before) and it seems as if not many help got here after that. Now, with temperatures dropping fast in this open desert-like terrain, I believe we should distribute maximum number of quilts, so that atleast most children and elderly have a chance to survive the cold! We plan to set out here on the coming weekend and on weekends following that. please keep up your support in these testing times.
   For this week’s trip, see the snaps at:

   Subject: Medical Camps in Akora/Swabi
   Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2010 15:55:28 +0600

   Dear All;
   On this weekend, we carried out two medical camps in Akora and Swabi region, with avid support of Mrs Qureshi. The first camp focused on women and children, who happen to the most neglected group because of stringent purdah culture in the region, coupled with non-availability of lady doctors. The second camp was in Mian Isa, which is a very remote and inaccessible area, and had received zero medical care to date. Both the camps were highly successful, in that they addressed highly needy populations.
   Please view the links below to see pictures of these missions:

   Your support has been vital in enabling us to reach out and help these people in their greatest hour of need. Jazak Allah!
   Regards,
