Hi there!
Thanks for posting the article about Myanmar. It is important to know what really is happening.
I also wanted to let anyone know who is interested in contributing to a relief fund for Myanmar that I know a way that will work. One of the pastors at the church I am attending (New Hope Peninsula, San Carlos, CA) is friend with the archbishop of the Episcopal Archdiocese of Singapore, who is in close contact with the Episcopal Church of Myanmar. We are currently collecting money to send to Myanmar. The following is quoted from New Hope's web page:
"All Myanmar donations are going directly to the Episcopal Archdiocese of Singapore. They have overseen the work of the Episcopal Church of Myanmar for years. All access and structures necessary to bring to affected areas are in place and tested by time. As demonstrated in the aid drive for Katrina, giving via a church organization with historical roots in an area is an extremely efficient means of help those in the most need. Churches, pastors, and church members are intimate with the needs of their community members. While also an important way to help, an outside aid agency must use a % of gifts to set up offices, distribution hubs, etc. Church “infrastructure" is already in place and costs nothing in new money to build: 100% goes to the needy people who’s lives are affected by disaster."
Click on the link below and you will find out how you can help. You can be sure that 100% of your money will be used for the Burmese people in need.
