Hey everybody

  I am here in Pakistan now going on five days.
Everything is fine and I hope everyone is in good
health. I have been but up to one of the biggest
challenges in my life and I am happy to say I am lovin
it. I am now under my third day under the wings of
what I would say is one of the greatest men I have
met. He is steadily running his office and at the
sametime doing what he can to help the needy here in
Pakistan. I am quite amazed at the way they are
making artifical limbs and braces here. These guys
are true troopers. They are making do with what they
have. Just imagine you have learnt everything and now
you have to make everything from scratch. We that is
what we are doing here. It is very underdeveloped and
I am steadily introducing new ideas and learning new
techniques and new ways of skinin the cat per say.
We are put up to a serious task. We are underfunded
and as well as always understaffed. We need more
people. We are thinking of ways to help the
unemployed by using them as volunteers and in turn
educating them and providing them with hopes for a
future job in the allied health field. We will see if
this works or otherwise we will have to seek
volunteers abroad. We have few CP, CO, and CPOs here
but there is little hopes they will all want to come
together as a team to help in the efforts. I will
hopefully get the shipped goods tommorrow. We will
also have a meeting with the HDF people here in
Islamabad to see how it is they can help so pray for
us and wish us well. It is an on going battle here
with time and people to get stuff done so bear with me
(SBWM) so that I can keep you all informed on our
progress here. I will send pictures soon SBWM. I am
tired and it has been a long day here it is now 2:10
a.m. so I will let you go and email yall again Thanks
for all your support.

Sincerely

Ferhan
