• How to give to Myanmar/Burma

  If you’d like to give money to aid the victims of the cyclone in Myanmar, consider this.

  I was reading a CNN article about the situation earlier this week and came across this paragraph.

  “World Vision, which has 500 aid workers in Myanmar, has provided aid in the country for more than 40 years. In a rare move, Myanmar’s junta specifically asked World Vision to help provide aid to cyclone survivors.”

  That’s right. Because of 40 years of faithfulness, World Vision has earned the trust of Myanmar’s reclusive government. That speaks volume in our instant impact culture.

  This has been confirmed by an appeal from World Vision itself:

  “As one of only three agencies asked by the Myanmar government to respond to this crisis, World Vision is working hard to meet these needs and save children’s lives.”

  Thank you, World Vision, for doing great work in Myanmar.

  Here’s a link to World Vision’s Cyclone Nargis Relief page.
