Pakistan International Airline have offered to fly 'life boxes' over to Pakistan for free. It's essentially a box containing water, juice, milk, soap and rehydration tablets which will sustain a small family for 2 to 3 days. http://www.piac.com.pk/Flood_Relief/contents.htm
They prefer a minimum volume weighing 500kgs which needs to be delivered to their depot at Heathrow. I'm in the process of organising a collection in my workplace (in Hackney) and managed to persuade 3 local busineses to transport the boxes on our behalf. Is it worth trying to do something similar in our community?
