PAKISTAN FLOOD RELIEF CAMPAIGN 2011
ORGANISED BY
PAKISTAN YOUTH FORUM - YOUTH DESERVE LISTENING
"Those who spend (in charity) of their goods by night and by day in secret and in public have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve" (Quran 2:274)
1. What is Pakistan Youth Forum?
PYF is an independent, non-political, non-profitable and non-governmental set up which is self governing through its constitution and is Registered under 1882 Trust Act with the registration number of 1231 (therefore it's completely reliable). It was founded in 2008, with an intention to create a space for youth where they can express what they want to say.
2. What is the mission of PYF?
PYF Slogan:
Our motto is, "Youth Deserves Listening" meaning Youth has a Right to Speak.
Objectives:
Social Services
Education for All
Equal Rights
Re-defining Youth
Social Services:
At PYF, we strive to Respond Actively Whenever our County Needs us. PYF Volunteers have Actively Participated in Various Events, such as acting as a Disaster Response Team in face of Natural Disasters, initiation and implication of Social Awareness Projects, working for the Mentally Disabled Children, Anti-Terrorism Protests, interfaith harmony and Peace building seminars, just to name a few.
Education for All:
In Current Scenario an Educated Nation can reach the impossibilities of this Challenging World. We believe that the Current Education system has failed to deliver wisdom and Social Values in our Youth. It is our Responsibility to prepare our Upcoming Generation to compete with the modern Challenges. For This, Educating our Young Generation is one of our Prior objectives.
Equal Rights:
PYF believes that Every Pakistan No matter Which Religion, Caste or Sect he belongs to, has The Right to live his Life independently and with Dignity. PYF Strives to Gather All Pakistanis under one Flag Where They can Work Selflessly for the Betterment of Society and making Pakistan one of the Greatest Nation in The World.
Re-defining Youth:
At PYF, we believe that Youth is much more than just a bunch of young people. We believe Youth to be an element of change. We see Youth as the Front-liners, as the fore-bearers of success, as the Light-bearers, as the true Descendants of our Great Quaid Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the rightful owners of this great land of Pakistan. And we believe that Youth does have a right to speak, to ask, to be listened to.
3. The Campaign
More than 209+ people have lost their lives till 08-09-2011' and innumerable are missing as a result of massive floods and heavy rainfall in Pakistan. According to BBC flood 'hit '21 MILLION people!'. Moreover, the natural catastrophe has left Hundreds of Thousands people homeless who are forced to take refuge under the open sky and are awaiting rescue!... Pakistan Officials say 650,000 homes have so far been destroyed across the Sindh , 10,000 cows have died and 1.4m acres (557,000 hectares) of agricultural land have been flooded. While we sit here comfortably in our homes without worrying about basic necessities like food and water.
It is time to ACT now and help our fellow Pakistanis!
The calamity is merciless and could have hit anyone, anywhere! We couldn't save OUR people then but it's high time we play our role and share part of their pain. Lets exhibit that they are NOT alone in this time of mischief / despair because who knows we may be the next in line!!
Our Pakistani Brothers & Sisters are waiting for our help.
They are hungry, without food and shelter!!!
