Moegyo Fundraising at Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in New York City

On 8th and 9th August 2009, we had fundraising event at Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in Flushing,New York.

Objectives:
- To rebuild sleeping quarter for Girls Orphanage located in Kyite Latt (Irrawady Delta Region, Myanmar (Burma)). The sleeping quarter was destroyed by Cyclone Nargis in May 2008. (Estimated cost to rebuild: US$10,000)

At the event, MHF and its volunteers sold Burmese-style coconut rice with chicken curry, "shwe-taung-kyout-swel" noodle salad chicken coconut cream, coconut jelly, soft drinks cans and water bottles.

We had over 15 volunteers joined the effort from planning, organizing, advertising, preparing and cooking delicious dishes, setting up the tent, and transportation of food and supplies.

The success of this event is credited to the team work of all volunteers participated in the efforts towards a common i.e. to support orphans and orphanages in Myanmar (Burma). Together, we were able to raised $4838.

Many thanks to volunteers for joining the effort! Together, we can make a difference!
