After the floods began their devastation, Co-Founder of SAJA, Sree Srinivasan sent out an email with several appeals from people who were coordinating relief efforts. That’s how I got in touch with Mahnaz Fancy who went ahead and coordinated a conference call with Kalsoom, herself and me over Skype so we could record this podcast and get the word out.

In this episode of Blog Beat, you’ll hear Mahnaz Fancy and Kalsoom Lakhani, two Pakistani Americans who are driving an initiative called Relief4Pakistan – A fundraising campaign linked with Mercy Corps that gives true meaning to the ‘bit by bit’ approach. At the time we recorded this conversation over Skype, Relief4Pakistan had raised US$23,484 – Their goal? To raise a hundred thousand.
