Hi Ghazala

We have set up a camp for these families in Burhan.

We’re looking to set up 100 families. We have started receiving them and need support. Do you think you can help? We can take you to the camp and show you the place.
We will set up vocational and educational facilities. Currently this is all managed privately. But I expect that we will need outside funds and / or material support. Would appreciate any help / advise.

i am part of a group of caring pakistanis who are providing relief on our own to those idps who have not been approached by anyone as yet. i do agree that adoption of a family is workable only under certain conditions. generally, it will give rise to cultural, financial, and family problems. a better approach in my view is to support thee families in getting settled at a place where they live together as community either in a building or a better facilitated camp( if there is one). rent and other expenditures can be met through donations at individual or collective level.

only those women, children should be adopted who have no one else to call as family.

An idea like this could be useful in taking care of people. How would it work practically? Is there an organization this could be set up through? Please use the Wiki page/site at:

http://pakistan.wikia.com/wiki/Internally_Displaced_People

or one of the other sites and pages (including the ones on this site).

ghazala your concern is good. and i agree that people can donate money and help in other ways but it is not practical to ask people to adopt displaced person. Only NGOs which have government and Non-government help can do this job. There are many complex issues in adopting…so this is a non workable idea as I think. plese dont’ mind.
nazia, i find your comment very satirical and your poking fun at people for being rich and not giving them due resopect as businessmen and other professional really work hard. As I wrote above asdoption is a not a good and workable idea and my only sudggestion to all would be to get out from their ideiot box-tv abnd see the reeality-i mean everybody welcomed taliban agreement and when these taliban became threating to government then the same people asked the pakistani authorities to ag against the taliban. how synical. first you welcome and then u criticise. this is bad and absurd beghaviour.
proudpatyan! you can check and google the name soi NGO and other agencies who provide this service. it is only a 1-2 minutes job on ythe net clicking on google, by the way people who are humble they dont’ behave like you. i mean if you are real then you can start your effort on youreldf anf not to delpend on ghala to rprovide you the information. you are cynical. and not proud pathan ads youy cliam to be,

Ghazala
your all suggestions are practicable as we have thousands of rich families living in their luxurious life styles but most of these guys are cold hearted and consider these people as burden or will consider them as source of cheap work for their domestic jobs.Thanks we have edhi like selfless people who have helping these people in much prompt actions than our govt people or even foreign support NGOs who are started looking for dollar funds .A golden opportunity to fill their pockets by presenting these displaced people in more pathetic form in foreign media.
