  1. Congratulations for reaching this milestone… Your effort in order to raise awareness about peace is indeed matchless…we are proud of the role our youth and institutions are playing in the midst of trepidation and fear…

  2. Congratulations to the youth of Gilgit Baltistan for sucessfully concluding the longest peace walk of Pakistan.

    Your noble cause of peace was very much welcomed by everyone all the way up to Karachi.

    It was a wonderful coincidence that two peace initiatives (Kunjrav-Karachi Peace Walk 2009 and Wakhi Week 2009 by GECA) on national level were organized by the citizen of Gilgit-Baltistan at this time where terrorists have created a war like situation in Pakistan.

    This shows the commitment on part of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan for creation of a peaceful and progressive Pakistan.

    Peace Heart Foundation is registered, non governmental Organization, which is registered under CDD in Badin in 2008, with its registration number (DO-SW-CDD-BDN-VA-143). Since its establishment PHF has been striving hard to bring those grabbed smiles back to the faces of children who have holes in their hearts often lose their battle for survival due to non availability of their cure and treatment in Pakistan. Establishment of such heart hospital in District Badin Sindh Pakistan, which could provide world standard treatment and surgery facilities to children having holes in their hearts, without the discrimination of caste, color, creed, religion and ethnical background. Many children die of this bloody and horrible disease as their poor and helpless parents can not afford to take them to India for their expensive treatment and surgeries. Strongly believing in
    “Saving a life is tantamount to saving the whole humanity.” Peace Heart Foundation has the honours to be the ever first organization in Pakistan which is working on children having holes in their hearts in 57 districts in Pakistan providing technical support to the parents of affected children by facilitating them in making contacts with the hospitals and doctors and also taking them to India and other countries of the world.
    Could you pass by the heart rending sobbing and moaning of parents with their eyes wet with tears? Could you ignore a child who bleeds while spitting and vomits out blood fighting with death like a wrestler who is pulling all his powers and energies to touch the life line which is spreading distance making it hard for him to survive? One with a dull soul may over look taking it for granted, but people having a warm, throbbing heart full of sympathy for human beings will never afford to avoid such scenes. On of those were pioneers of Peace Heart Foundation whose hearts would bleed and eyes would shed the tears of blood when they would witness helpless parents seeing their children off saying good bye to life. They in spite of all their efforts and endeavors would be unable to save their children off the ruthless claws of death. This is the predicament of the children who have holes in their hearts who if timely treated may be brought back to life if not lose their lives.

    Achievements so for by PHF

    Peace Heart Foundation has so for succeeded in getting 108 children treated (including, medication, treatment, surgeries, tests, blood, transfusion, lodging, and boarding) with the financial help of Pakistan Bait-ul-Maal, Self Help Based Musical Night Shows, for Funds Raising, MNA/MPA Charity Funds, Multinational Companies and traders. The Foundation has been donated four acres of land for the construction of ever first heart hospital for treatment of the patients having holes in their hearts.

    Appeal

    PHF has 35 cases of Children having holes in their hearts. Their treatment and surgery is not possible in Pakistan. The parents of the children can not afford to get them treated in India (adjoining country) due to extreme poverty. PHF has contacted the management and doctors of NARAYANA HURDAYALA HEART HOSPITAL BANGALORE INDIA, 258/A, Bommasandra Industrial Area, Anekal Taluk, Bangalore India, with Tel: 0091-080-27835000-018 Fax: 0091-080-27832648, 27835222.
    They have announced a 35% discount package for the Pakistani children. The cost of treatment, surgery, blood, medicine, food, and accommodation etc, runs into Rs. 500,000/ (US $ 5882) per child. This package will be from 15 to 25 days including the lodging and boarding expenses of the parents of the children. The travel charges will be paid by the parents of the children. Peace Heart Foundation has decided to take these children to India. The total expenses on the whole trip will be Rs. 17,500,000 (US $ 205882) which the foundation doesn’t have resources to afford. The foundation has decided to donate Rs. 200.000/ (US $ 2352) for the purpose. The foundation is in dire need of remaining Rs.17,300,000 (US $ 203529) so that the lives of 35 children could be saved.

    The Foundation, on behalf those poor parents, makes an earnest entreaty to your generous honor as this noble task can not be undertaken single handedly, and without your help. Your timely and gracious help can save these innocent lives which have not yet started blooming. Our delay can cause these 35 dimly burning candles to be blown out. Little aids by you, your relatives, and friends can prove to be a ray of hope for those children who are on the crossroads of life and death. The donations can be directly made to NARAYANA HURDAYALA HEART HOSPITAL BANGALORE INDIA or PEACE HEART FOUNDATIONS account Number given below.
