Hunza Valley Emergency Boat Service Plan |

|
|
|

|
|
WDS submitted a plan for the operations of boats being used for humans and cargo at the lake in Hunza. Our plan was submitted to the authorities and dealt with all aspects of safety and rescue.
A boat did capsize a few days ago however the three occupants were saved.
We hope the authorities will implement and follow as many guidelines as possible to eliminate or minimize the loss of lives. |

Trees For Life. Phase One is a success. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WDS launched the Trees For Life project in 2007. The research and planning took nearly one year and in 2008 the first four nurseries were established in the remote Broghil Valley in the furthermost north of the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan.
The success of Phase One has given us the ability to win the hearts and minds of the locals with our practical work and efforts and we are now looking to launch the other integrated parts of the project in spring 2010. |
