Earthquake Donation Campaign

NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Earthquake, which hit Baluchistan almost a month ago, caused great destructions and killed more than 300 people. It was a 6.5 magnitude quake which stuck the mountainous Baluchistan and left tens of thousands (1080000) more people homeless, half of whom were children. As winter approached, the lives of these people became more miserable. Young children started dying of respiratory tract problems.

IEEE SEECS (NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) also joined in for the noble cause and started an earthquake relief campaign on 25th of Nov, 2008. It was a two day campaign in which IEEE Branch was able to collect the greatest amount of donations ever in the history of SEECS.

IEEE was able to gather a total donation of Rs.33000/- in which the faculty contributed about Rs.10000/- and the rest of contribution was by the students i.e. Rs.23000/-
