The Olympic silver medalist went back to Pakistan in April 2006 to see how survivors are coping after the earthquake of October 2005.

Amir is reunited with Uzain, 8 and Samark, 7 whom he met on his first visit to Chatter Class camp with Oxfam.

Amir: "Last December, I met two children in a camp near Muzaffarabad who were wearing just one piece of clothing. I met those two children again when I visited that camp with Oxfam in April. They were better because they were given some aid but it's still going to be tough for them when they go back home. It was a good feeling seeing the two little boys smiling and looking better than the last time I saw them."
