It’s very tragic to say that charity events like Fashion for Floods have become a seasonal event with the floods becoming a recurrent calamity in the country. Recently Fashion for Floods event was organized at Royal Palm, Lahore but sadly the event did not receive expected response as compare last year.
“A lot of people are tight from the heart” criticized a young helper, who felt that. Besides, the usual fashion suspects were nowhere to be found. Well, there could be many reasons for such a low response, one being the prevailing fear of dengue epidemic in Lahore and the Taseer family, usually in the front line of relief efforts in the city, going undercover.
Moreover, last year there were floods in Punjab so the response was great. If the same event was held in Karachi, the response would have been comparatively better.
The only organization that appeared to do well was Zimmedar Shehri that sold hand bands for Rs100, managing a total of Rs20,000 at the event. Additionally, they shared that their door-to-door collection reached a grand total of Rs178, 675.
