I am Pakistani 10 year old. The other day a picture appeared in DAWN a sick girl of 3 or 4 years lying on open garden ground of National Institute of Child Care Karachi wrapped in blankets. Her mother sitting with her. Her father and other male sitting outside boundary of hospital on foot path where they have also put blankets on floor for sleeping. These people have come from interior of Sindh for treatment and has no place to live in. The photo gives tears.
This is not the scene only in Karachi. My father says it is seen in all big cities of Pakistan. Thus with one sick others live more miserable life, neither they can go toilets nor sleep.
Our rich people and multinationals can well afford repeatedly sponsoring TV/Radio full series of cricket matches etc but have no penny for such works. This hospital I know is already run by “unknown” philnothrophists who do not want to be named.
Through your esteem I request that in the first stage an account may be opened for making any sort of building near this hospital in Karachi. For initial deposit my Rs. 7500 may be taken which I have collected from my different Eids and school money. Another account may be opened for Lahore for which I will also pay and my father too. Such simple building may be made where such people could at least have plain simple shelter with water and toilet facilities. I know getting space and construction is too costly near such places but there is no dirt in my beloved country of good people who will donate.
But my specific prayer is this account should not be in hands of government or any government controlled department rather it should be independent run by private citizens in which Mr.Ardeshir Cowasjee and Abdul Sattar Edhi must be.
Please take my money.
