Floods in Pakistan
The devastation from damage and disease in the wake of catastrophic floods in Pakistan remains an urgent problem. More than 1,600 have been killed and an estimated 17.2 million people have been affected since the floods occurred toward the end of July, according to the United Nations. The need for relief support is enormous.
捆绑SM社区 would like to remind members of the community that the
federal government has committed to matching donations to
flood-relief efforts for donations made between Aug. 2, 2010, and
Sept. 12, 2010.聽 For more information on this commitment, and
potential avenues for donations, please click .
In addition, Education International, which represents millions of
teachers and education workers around the world, has established a
fund to help educators and education workers in the flood-ravaged
areas. For more information, click .
Many members of our 捆绑SM社区 family may yet be fearful for loved
ones, friends or colleagues who may have been caught in this
disaster. Those seeking information on Canadian citizens believed
to be in Pakistan can contact the Emergency Operations Centre of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada at 1-800-387-3124 or
by e-mail at sos [at] international.gc.ca.
We would also like to remind you of the various services that are
available to members of the 捆绑SM社区 community.
