A Bradford volunteer aid worker who has been helping injured survivors of the South Asia earthquake has returned home with a mission to do more to help.

Zeshan Ahmed, 24, spent weeks with his friend Dr Talat Hussain collecting walking aids to distribute to those who had lost limbs in the disaster.

Now, having returned home from distributing a ton of equipment, Mr Ahmed is turning his attentions to raising money to buy shelters for those who have had their homes destroyed.

"I am going to try to raise money," he said. "They need shelters and they need money to buy more of them."

The shelters cost about £300 and are made of metal sheets put together with metal poles. Mr Ahmed is now working on convincing his family to buy one each. "It's not an expensive thing," he said. "Everyone there just wants some sort of a home."

Each shelter can house four people and Mr Ahmed is hoping that the shelters will be used to house orphans and widows.

This was the first time that Mr Ahmed travelled on an aid mission and he is hoping to get the chance to go again.

"It was a really good experience I would do it again given the opportunity," he said. "I just feel for the people. I felt ill because of the cold so I can't put into words what these people must have been going through."

During his three weeks in the area, Mr Ahmed said one of the most emotional times was handing out crutches and wheelchairs to people who were desperately in need.

"I had been talking to someone whose brother had been desperately looking for some crutches but couldn't find any. It was great to say to him, 'Tell you family to save their money - I can give you the crutches.'

"Also there was a woman who had been in bed since the earthquake because she had been paralysed. Imagine ten weeks stuck in bed?

"So we gave her a wheelchair and that was the first time she had been out of bed. That was a great feeling."
