Pakistan is still in the first phase of relief efforts as the catastrophic flood continues to threaten new areas. The challenge of getting aid to millions of people who are still stranded or without adequate shelter, food, sanitation facilities and clean drinking water is still proving to be more than the authorities can manage. The immediate threat to the 20 million who are affected is just the beginning of a recovery that will take years and billions of dollars before anything resembling normalcy can be restored.When Pakistan completes the first stage - providing short term relief to all the flood victims - the country will then face a massive rebuilding of infrastructure, roads and housing.

Often times, these companies go out and hire the best in the business to get their company off the ground, and these high profile people demand a high profile salary that the company just can't meet a the moment.
