We are all aware of the recent flooding in Pakistan and the somewhat half-hearted response from the International community. Old folks on the ground say that they haven't witnessed anything like this in their living memory. Looking at the condition of these flood victims, you almost feel like giving them all your savings.

Below is a song dedicated to the flood victims. The song is in Urdu with a loose translation in English. Even a $5 donation can put a smile on a child's face and some food in her hands. Donating to UNICEF is one option.

my mud home with it's courtyard, my sanctuary (is here) my lifeline of support, my home village (is here) shadows of my every moment, all my memories and their comfort is here my sweat, blood, and tears, my life and death, everything is here (but now) everything has drowned everything has drowned if you were in my shoes, you'd be forced to voice your pain if you were in my shoes, you'd be forced to beg with your hands everything has drowned everything has drowned everything drowned everything drowned (everything)
