I had arranged a meeting with Abdullah Khan, manager at Nestle in Islamabad at 10am to see if Nestle could donate milk and milk powder for the Refugees at Panja Sahib. Mr Khan was very welcoming and was proud to mention that his father was from Patiala and mother from Ludhiana.The meeting went well and Mr Khan agreed to donate milk for the children and milk powder for upto 2 weeks and then heavily discounted rates thereafter, i was very greatful and deeply touched by Mr Khans praises of Sikhism.

I ordered a taxi to deliver the wheelchair to Panja Sahib and arranged to pick up Bhai Manjeet Singh and our local contact Tahir Mahmood on way.We got to Panja Sahib at about 3pm and met Amritpal and his parents, Amritpal was very eager and excited to get into the wheelchair, so without keeping this lovely young boy waiting any longer we handed the wheelchair over to his father.I dont think we saw Amritpal around much , he was being taken all around the Gurdwara grounds by the other children.We sat down with his father and asked him about Amritpals disability and if anything could be done medically. I was told that his disability was caused at birth while being delivered, so there was a very slight chance he maybe able to use his legs.
I instructed our wonderful contact Tahir to arrange a specialist doctor/surgeon in Islamabad to thoroughly examine Amritpal and i really hope there is something that can be done.The appointment will be arranged within the next few days.
I met with the milk distributors who have been delivering milk to the children and paid him for the 2 days delivery.I hope to hear from Nestle very soon or we will continue using our existing distributor.
