Three Great Ways to Help People in Pakistan: Donate, Petition or Play!

DONATE
More than 20 million people have been affected by flooding in Pakistan. Oxfam are already helping over 460,000 and aim to reach around 1.3 million with vital water, sanitation and hygiene. Help with a donation however big or small at http://www.oxfam.org.uk/

PETITION
Whilst tens of millions struggle to survive the flood devastation, 30% of Pakistan's budget revenue will be sent abroad to foreign creditors for massive loans made to dictators years ago. Sign the petition to stop Pakistan's crippling debt: http://www.avaaz.org/en/pakistan_cancel_the_debt/?cl=724330714&v=7058
