We are in the most remote area of the Delta where the people were the hardest hit. 7.2 million people lived in the Delta, over 134,000 people died. 56,000 are missing. The number of survivors is inumerable. |
We're now in Phase 2, which means were helping these remote villages rebuild their lives.
We still need your help!!! We are now buying small boats and fishing nets for the fishermen. We're buying tractors and seed for the farmers. We're rebuilding homes. |

NOTE: Our reports & photos don't come in daily, as our team is way down in the southern inaccessible parts of the Delta, only accessed by a 5 hour boat ride from Pathein. We're there because no one else is! These people were hit the hardest and still need our help. July 2008 We are now in Phase 2 of our relief effort. We've taken care of the immediate needs of the villages and villagers we've been helping. We are now helping these people to get their lives back to together. For the fishermen, we are buying fishing nets, and small boats. For the farmers we are buying tractors and seed. As Cyclone Nagris begins to fade in everyone's memory, we need your help more than ever. These people need to be able to support their families and put food on the table. Everything they had was destroyed!
May 29, 2008, from Yangon We are spending about $1000 a week sending food, medicines, and clothing to these hard-hit remote villages where other aid agencies have not been able to reach. The survivors there deperately need help!!!! I will be sending the names of those villages right away. They are out near the ocean which is a 5 hour boat ride fom PaThein. Eventually the major international donors will be able to send aid in a big way with helicopters, but it's going to take some time, probably months. So we will continue helping these needy victims until that major aid arrives. After these remote villages start receiving sustainable aid from the large international donors, we are going to try to help the approximately 30,000 orphans in collaboration with local churches and monastaries, depending on funds available to us. I am going to personally try to get a small one going with some friends if the donations don't keep coming. May 22, 2008, from Yangon This area is mostly under water and the only access is by small boats going through very narrow channels. The major aid organizations have not been able to make it out this far. So that's where we are. The people there are in desperate need of medicines because of the outbreak of disease. They need clothing and food. They are fine with water as there is plenty of fresh rain water. We are taking the medicines, clothing, blankets, food and other basic needs to these desperate survivors. We are relocating many to nearby dry areas and towns slowly, but surely. We're taking care of them on a daily basis until the authorities or other large donors can take over with sustained help. Meanwhile, we are continuing to aid these hungry, wet people in remote villages...there are 100s of them that need aid in a big way and they need it now. After we have helped and rescued people in the most remote areas, we will start to organize orphanages depending on funding. This will be in collaboration with churches and Buddhist monasteries.
