Our Focus

We decided to form a team to help cyclone victim. Irrawady delta is the life stream of Myanmar, 65% of rice is produced at Irrawady division. This cyclone will effect the whole country. Survival of the cyclone are depress because of the slow moving aids and lack of concern from the authority. For their survival they are start think to leave their villages and move to cities. That will defiantly affect the work force and county economy. With our very limited resources and funds we have to narrow down the most effective way to help the victim. We see these crises will not be a short term problem. So we divided into 3 stages to help the cyclone victim.
To help them with food supply, water and medical supply just to sustain for a week or two.
Helping with basic accessories to start a new live. Just providing a very basic shelter we can save may life for example water proof sheet. To strike back the starvation and provide food to their family they going to need cooking pot and fish nets.
Providing basic framing equipment and seeds will help them to go back to work.

We formed 3 teams to focus on 2 area Bogalay and Maw Kyun. A team will include one team leader one doctor or a medical officer, one register and 3 helper form our team and 5 helper form local. We did appointed local agent to supply local information and do arrangements before we came. We are going to appoint an accountant to report the funds usage to our donor. According to the latest news from locals this morning food supply is start flooring in from local donor with the arrangement of religious organization. So, we decided to focus on water proof sheets (ready to make a tent), cooking equipment and medical supply for Bogalay. And some food supply, medical supply, water proof sheets and cooking pot for Maw Kyun.

Good news is one organization has offered us to responsible for disturbing their supply as many village as we could. We are also going to accept donations around the world and inform you how to donate tomorrow. If you want have any questions do not hesitate to contact following e-mail in the meanwhile. We will launch the web site as soon as we could to update the current news. Let’s forget what has already gone and save the survival.
