My first week in Kashmir. December 2005
I traveled to Pakistan last year with a group of men from Eastern Mennonite Missions who were sent in response to the October 8, 2005 earthquake. Our aim last year was to be emissaries of peace, provide what help we could, and to offer any comfort that we could to the people affected by the earthquake.
40 men went to Pakistan; 16 of us were sent to a village called Bugna, which is in the Hindu-Kush mountains. In Bugna, we met up with an organization called the Human Development Foundation
We started working on the field hospital that HDF had set up there. Starting out with building "rooms" in the Hospital tent itself. We also built a set of stairs from the parking lot to the hospital tent, and a latrine.

Great work, your blog was short but I enjoyed it. Pakistan is probably the only country where I don't have missionary friends in. Keep up the great work! Asif Zamir, Toronto Canada
