Former Ambassador of Pakistan, Manzoorul Haq here Sunday urged philanthropists and donors organizations to generously contribute for the assistance of thousands of poor people during the holy month of Ramazan in the wake of coronavirus outbreak in the country.
‘The people of Pakistan are known worldwide for contributing donations and charity for assistance of poor people especially at time of need. It is high time for philanthropists of the country and oversees Pakistanis to demonstrate the same spirit of brotherhood as exhibited by them during 2005 earthquake and 2010 flood for assistance of thousands of daily wagers and labourers affected by lockdown due to caronavirus outbreak,’ Ambassador Manzoorul Haq told media.
He said it was 2010 when most parts of Nowshera district were drowned in floods from where trapped people from a village had been evacuated through boats to safer places.
He recalled that a poor old woman, who was selling plastic shoes in a nearby village, had rushed to the evacuated place and distributed free shoes among have nots. ‘These shoes were the main source of livelihood of family of the poor woman. On that difficult day, she had forgotten about her family livelihood and remained busy to help our people in trouble. Indeed, it was a great love for humanity.
