This little kid was playing around when I was speaking to his father. The gentleman is from Hingalganj and currently visiting his relative in Chargheri. He expressed that at his native area he has not seen an effort even close to the one he is now seeing from PAKT to support the affected people in various ways. While the appreciative comment was like a recognition for PAKT's activity from a 3rd person, sadly it also highlighted that so much stills needs to be done in so many areas.
