In Pakistan, shipping is big business. New paved highways offer a fast track to the north and Afghanistan. Goods arrive at the port of Karachi and travel as far as U.S. troops based in Afghanistan or newly rich Central-Asian republics farther north.

The World Vision Report’s Jessica Partnow takes us to Karachi, the heart of Pakistan’s one-of-a-kind truck decorating business.
