Diplomats hold fund-raiser to aid Pakistan quake victims

At least half of the 80,000 victims of Pakistan's devastating earthquake last year were children - and many more were left orphans.

Today, the diplomatic community here is hoping to raise at least €50,000 to help rebuild a village to house and school some of the children in one of the worst-hit areas by supporting a bazaar organised by the wife of the Pakistani ambassador in Dublin.
