A child walks among the tents of Maira Camp, near the town of Battagram in northern Pakistan. After the earthquake of Oct. 8, 2005, which left several million people homeless in the region, this was his temporary home. MCC has provided more than $1.2 million U.S., or $1.3 million Cdn., to relief and development organizations that are currently helping to rebuild homes, provide health care and bring community trauma healing.
