Help and comfort can be given in so many forms. Today thousands of Muslims living in Northern Pakistan continue to put up with the extreme winters of the region, where snow and cold winds blanket the mountainous terrain all season long. Although warm blankets are an essential commodity in this part of the world, it is often difficult for Momineen to afford good quality blankets, let alone electricity and wood for heat. HF has given 1000 blankets to the poorest of poor in Hunza and Skardu. |
