   Subject: [kohatians] The best way to donate

   Deal All,
   We all want to donate and make a difference. What exactly is the best way to donate? Who do donate? and what to donate? Cash or Items?
   Different ways of donating
   1. Collecting from friends and then transferring to a relative or friend’s account in Pakistan. The friend then uses the funds to buy items and send it to the affected areas.
   2. Donating to charities
   1. Muslim charities which normally operate in Muslim countries.
   2. International relief organizations like ICRC, Save The Children, Oxafm etc.
   Honesty and sympathy is one thing and channelizing your honesty and sympathy into some thing fruitful and beneficial on ground is different.
   What to donate:
   If you can the best would be do buy medicine, clothing, shelter, food items and other basic necessities from OUTSIDE Pakistan. It is very important that you buy things from outside Pakistan as that would maintain the demand to supply balance.
   However, if you cannot do this then yes cash is always welcome.
   Emotional donations
   Last of all, please do not make donations a matter of feelings and emotions.
   So every one does what he or she can in his or her capacity.
   Having said, this is a very good initiative from Kohatians. Please contribute to it generously.
   Kind Regards

   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
