Students in Peshawar Help Victims of Terrorism

By Umer Orakzai

KPK is suf­fer­ing from worst kind of ter­ror­ism; there is a bomb blast every oth­er day. Recent­ly a group of con­cerned stu­dents at the Uni­ver­si­ty of the Peshawar along with some civ­il soci­ety mem­bers called a meeting.The objec­tive was to take some step for help­ing the vic­tims of ter­ror­ism. After a brain­storm­ing, they agreed to run a blood dona­tion cam­paign. Accord­ing­ly the stu­dents arranged blood for dozens of vic­tims of ter­ror­ism.

Apart from that, stu­dents of Peshawar Uni­ver­si­ty and Khy­ber Med­ical Uni­ver­si­ty have also arranged a med­ical camp last month which pro­vid­ed free med­ical aid to inter­nal­ly dis­placed per­sons (IDPs).This aid took care of two camps of IDPs; one was Jalozai IDPs camp in which the IDPs of Khy­ber Agency are stay­ing and the sec­ond one was Hangu IDPs camp in which the IDPs of Orakzai Agency are stay­ing. Their next tar­get is Dur­rani IDPs camp locat­ed in Kur­ram Agency.

These ini­tia­tives are worth fol­low­ing prece­dents for stu­dents all over the coun­try.
