Description :
Mai Pari is a very brave woman. Mother of six, Pari was widowed years ago.
She has raised her four sons and two daughters alone by growing rice and selling milk of her buffaloes.
All of her children are now married. Pari lives with her grandchildren in the ancestral compound and shares house with her youngest son's family.
Many flood-stricken communities of northern Sindh province feel their problems have been largely forgotten. Almost a year has passed since they were hit by devastating floods and, with the arrival of aid supplies by the ICRC and the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, it is only now that they are able to think seriously about re-occupying their land and planting the summer rice crop. The ICRC's Sitara Jabeen visited the site of the first agro distribution now under way in Garhi Khairo. .
