Sonia of Munirabad
The stories of human determination, dedication and sacrifice are to  be found everywhere in this village first located as being an APPNA
project by Dr. Manzoor Tariq APPNA President 2011 and Dr. Mobashar Rana APPNA Secretary 2011. This village reconstration project has
at last count 128 homes for the villagers who had lost everything. APPNA members generously donated close to $140,000 in 2011.
This is a flagship project for 2011 and many future additions such as water filtration, vocational school etc remain as possible projects.

Sonia is a 12 year old 7th grader who has to ride a donkey cart to school and it takes her 3 hours per day to accomplish this. Seen in a photo courtesy of Mr. Babar Mughal.
