Every person contributes between one to ten rupees. Starting with all individuals having bank accounts. All mnc,s and local companys contributing one to three days salary. All pharmaceutical companies contributing medicines and each and every company in the production playing its part i have no dought that we can over come this tragedy.But we need iron will determination, courage and steadfastness. ALLAH SWT will make our big problems small.
