"The best way out is always through." --Robert Frost

Courage

Amidst collapsed building, broken roads, and row upon row of tents inhabited by those displaced by the earthquake, the city of Mazafarabad, Pakistan is showing signs of life. Grocery shops, bakers, call centers, general merchants, and banks are reopening along the city's main bazaar. While residents are still shaken, there is a strong determination to rebuild. As Abdul Hameed, a barber in Muzaffarabad put it, "I am still terrified of being under a roof, but I will not leave. This is my home. This is where I was born, and this is where I will rebuild my life."
