Volunteers in Burma who can get aid directly to the victims

A local group taking aid and relief to the worst hit areas of Burma affected by Cyclone Nargis

Our group traveled to the cyclone hit area and was shocked to find the lack of aid reaching victims. We put together a diary of our journey and has taken some incredible pictures of what we saw. there are still places that have not received ANY aid in over 2 weeks after the Cyclone hit. In many of the villages we visited, over 75% of the buildings have been destroyed and in some almost half of the inhabitants were killed. Due to the lack of co-operative from Burma most foreign aid agencies are still not allowed in, we can move around freely as we are Burmese and we are already working with NGO's (Non Government Organisations) to transport aid.

We have set up a way for you to buy needed items from the UK. We will be taking food, tents, blankets and equipment out to the most remote villages over the next few weeks. Any donations you can spare will be of great help.

Please check out the website, it is an interesting read and has some eye opening images http://www.myanmarvg.org.uk

If you could forward this to friends, colleagues and relatives, just a couple of pounds each will supply over 228 families with the food and shelter they need. Thank you.

Alternatively you can donate through the Google & DEC aid organisations, but as to exactly when this aid will get through is still unknown. Support victims of the cyclone in Myanmar (Burma)
