CRS gives relief to flood-ravaged Pakistan

chris_bodyWidespread floods in Pakistan have forced more than 500 thousand people from their homes over the last three weeks. While many Pakistanis have found refuge in tent camps, there are many more whose whereabouts are unknown.

Catholic Relief Services has been hard at work in Pakistan, bringing supplies to victims and repairing damaged water systems. On tonight’s edition of Currents, Matt McClure talks with CRS’s country representative to Pakistan, Jack Byrne.

CRS has quite a history in Pakistan; it has been there since 1954. Check out the link for a wealth of information about its work in that country and elsewhere around the world. There is also a place on the organization’s website where you can donate.
