Would appreciate your adding the Petarian Foundation / Abdalian Association to your list of Aid Agencies working in the earthquake zone. We have set up camp in the villages near Bagh, AJK from where we are providing both relief as well as medical assistance. Our teams of volunteers are working closely with the affected population by going into the mountains to their homes and providing relief at their doorstep. We started our work within 2 days of the quake, and a week before the army or any other agency arrived in that region.

So far we have provided relief to nearly 10 villages in that area with a population of around 30,000.
