We set up a total of 60 boxes in Kashmir.

It was so steep that the Shelterboxes couldn't be transported so they carried the tents separately on their backs about 1km up to the highest point in the 2500m high village of Arjia in Kashmir.

Until today (Wednesday, October 19) there has been no aid here and these are the first tents to be delivered.All the families were very glad to receive them most of the people lost everything and didn't even have enough for a cup of tea.

Because of the high altitude the night time is way below zero so what we provided was a lifeline for these people.

Tomorrow we are going to Ravlakot where there are 50 boxes and will be met by a Rotarian from Islamabad.

There are 60 boxes left to distribute in Bagh so we will find out more tomorrow.
