Moegyo Humanitarian Foundation 2010 Highlights

Another year has passed and at this time of sharing and joyful season, the Moegyo Team would like to thank all the donors, contributors, supporters and volunteers for the wonderful support given to the orphans and vulnerable children in Myanmar. We would also like to acknowledge the hard work and personal sacrifices made by the Moegyo volunteers in Myanmar to deliver the needed support to difficult-to-reach places and also to make sure that aid money is spent wisely and effectively.

2010 was an eventful year for the Moegyo Team. The Moegyo Team organized three fundraising activities to help the children.

1. 3rd Annual Moegyo Food Fair in New York
2. Moegyo participated as a food vendor at 20th Dragon Boat Festival in New York
3. 1st Annual Holiday Charity Dinner in Virginia

In addition to supporting 5 orphanages with day to day needs, we are also fortunate enough to give educational support for nine out of ten students that passed the high school exam at Kani Village Youth Development and Education center to go on to university.

1. Mingalar orphanage, Twantay
2. Mya theingyi orphage near Yangon
3. Kani Orphanage at Kani Village in Phyar Pon
4. Pyinnyar Waddy Orphanage at Kyite-latt
5. Pay-Gyaung Parahitta in Pay Gyaung village, Kyite-Latt township

Moegyo also partnered with other organizations in Myanmar and abroad and made numerous donations to several locations in the country. One of the unfortunate events was cyclone GIRI that hit South Western region that affected over 200,000 people. Moegyo was able to support the cyclone GIRI victims through the Buddhist Missionary Society Inc. in New York.

All of this would not have been possible without your support. Yet there is so much more to do. Many more children need your help. Many more schools need new roofs or floors. In 2011, we would like to do more to help. Please join us in this journey. We believe that together, we can make a difference!
