Earthquake Fund
The representatives of the Bazm-i-Adab Canberra met
with High Commissioner of Pakistan, Hon. Babar W. Malik. The meeting was
arranged to donate a sum of $4,300 to the Pakistan High Commission for onward transfer to
the Presidential Fund for Kashmir Earthquake Victims. This money was raised by
the Bazm through a successful Fundraising Dinner that was arranged on 29 April
in Canberra.
Talking to the Bazm representatives, after the money cheque had been presented
to him by the Bazm's Vice President Mr Javed Butt, the High Commissioner Mr
Babar W. Malik appreciated the efforts of the Bazm for this humanitarian cause.
He also informed the current situation of the devastated areas and pointed that
the process of rehabilitation was a long winded road and required a continued
and concerted effort to reach the destination. Mr. Babar Malik further said that
it was only through these gestures of fraternity and mutual help that we can
make the dream of rehabilitation realised quicker.
