  3. this is a hard time for our sisters and brothers of Ata Abad Hunza. it is the time to be empathetic with the people of Atta Abad. we must try to make possible arrangements for their food and shelter. it is time to share our land and homes. there are people in hunza, having much feilds and fruityards they are rich in resources like money and houses. if we can not share with them, then what is the use of those resources, except accumulation. please help jamat of Atta Abad through institutions. if institutions aren’t working, then we must knock on the doors of our leaders to come forward and render their services needed.

  4. It is a very difficult time for the people of the effected village of Ata Abad and the whole Hunza valley that many precious lives have been lost in a disaster of such catastrophic scale.

    It is a natural phenomena as the earth and the mountainous places have been created out of such catastrophic land, rock and mud slides, earthquakes and movement of the tectonic plates of the earth. Life on these places is really prone to such events.

    I pray to the Almighty Allah that the departed souls may rest in peace and give real physical, mental and moral strength to live a peaceful and safe life.

    My deepest condolences to the families who lost their dear ones in this disastrous event.

    This calamity has alo affected our Jamat living in the upper part of Hunza (Gojal) who are at present disconnected from rest of the country.

    The NDM and FOCUS Pakistan are actively participating in the relief work.

  19. God knows better how these types of natural disasters occur in the areas where people may never have even thought about it. Any way, we should not take it as a trial time, because human phenomina tells us that all sorts of occurances have dual diamensions both positive and negative, the psychlogical aspect of Nuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) tells that taking each event’s positive auspect porivdes fuel to the human energy of creativity. therefore, we should take it positive and get lessons from such type of disasters which show that God is always present.

    Almighty Allah may keep all the effected people of Ataabad in peace and happiness. Blief in God is the only source of self inner satisfaction in difficult times.

It is all nature but what we can do nothing except sorrows, i think it is not good enough to say a lot of things, it would be better if all of us to think about the alive lives, what we should do? what we do? how we do? keep these questions in mind and come forward to do really something for our attabad jamat. No dout! who does not realized this natural deastor, however, please it is my humble request to all of those who shown their concerns to affected people of Attabad – to them do some thing from your own as well as your PCs. This is what real sympthies with attabad people, otherwise, saying a lot do not work any more. i hope some of you would agree with my small idea. if yes please come forward and really do something for our brothers and sisters of attabad.
