JP WB Approved over $400m credit in Pakistan flood aid

Dear Friends,

The World Bank said it had approved over $400 million in credit to help Pakistan rebuild from massive flooding, some of the first aid to flow from the lender since the disaster.

The World Bank said it approved $300 in credit to help pay for imports of food, medicine, tents, fuel and machinery. It said the funds were part of the Bank's $1 billion commitment to Pakistan in this fiscal year.

The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are conducting a damage assessment of the floods. It said preliminary figures show more than 1.8 million homes were damaged or destroyed, which had displaced over 8 million people.

"The credit is part of the first phase of the World Bank's strategy to assist with flood recovery in Pakistan," said Rachid Benmessaoud, World Bank country director for Pakistan.

In addition, the World Bank said it approved a $130 million credit line to repair Pakistan's highway system, much of which was destroyed by the floods.

The Bank said the project included rehabilitating 514 km (319 miles) of highway, resurfacing 342 km (213 miles) of highway, and reconstructing 128 km (80 miles) of damaged roads that provide vital access to remote and disaster-prone communities.

Last week, World Bank President Robert Zoellick told a high-level U.N. meeting on Pakistan that Islamabad would have to prove its ability to manage foreign aid ahead of an October meeting in Brussels to review the flood damage assessment report.

JP Confidence in Now

Now is where you are. Now is where to focus your efforts and
Attention.

Now you can act and get results. Now you can make a
Difference and have an influence.

It makes no sense to concern yourself now with your
Shortcomings in the past. Now is when you can do what you
Were previously unable or unwilling to do.

There is time to live your life and that time is now. There
Is time to experience joy, love and fulfillment, and that
Time is now.

There is nothing you need before you can act, because you
Are already here and now. There is much that you can do, so
Do it now.

Make complete, effective use of this moment. And know the
Power of claiming full confidence in now.
Ralph Marston

JP Jo bhi guncha tere hontoon par khila karta hai

Jo bhi guncha tere hontoon par khila karta hai

Woh meri tangi daman ka gila karta hai

Dair se aaj mera sar hai tere zanoon par

Yeh woh rutba hai jo shahoon ko mila karta hai

Main to batha houn dabaye huwe tufan ko

Tue mere dil k dharakne ka gila karta hai

Raat yun chand ko dekha nadi main raksaan

Jaise jhumar tere mathe pe hila karta hai

Koun kafir tujhe ilzam tagaful de ga

Jo bhi karta hai mohabbat ka gila karta hai

Thanks & Best Regards,
