Saturday 16th January.
Dominic is an enthusiast for networking. PVDP invited many NGOs involved in the Thar area to come together to discuss water issues there. A university professor and 3 other knowledgeable speakers addressed around 45 attendees and we had an interesting discussion about rainwater harvesting, spate irrigation, sand dams and the like. We may even make the local newspapers... wonder how CED reads in Urdu script?
Met leaders of several local NGOs; some interesting initiatives are taking place. Afterwards we celebrated with tea and ice cream and got back to Mirpurkhas after dark but happy to be still alive. Roads are quite busy here, with fast cars, slow lorries and very slow chinichinis, small motorcycle rickshaws loaded with whole families.
