As time is critical, we gathered funds among ourselves. Winthin 2 days, our contact has managed to fly to Yangon with supplies, such as water purifying tablets and medicine. He is now in Yangon visiting shelters and distributing supplies. With initial funding of $5000, we have purchased supplies from Bangkok. The balance will go for rice bags and beans in Myanmar for distribution.
Watch this blog for daily updates including information on funding and spending for transparency. Our main objective here is to help distribute basic food (rice and beans) and water as much as we can and as far as we can go in the disaster regions.
Your donation in any amount through any channels will help a great deal to the people of Myanmar.
Thank you very much.
