With the whole city devastated, water pumps out, no electricity and no help from the military regime in sight, local organizations are coming together to support each other and provide relief to homeless families.

Gitameit music school, which is normally a local NGO that provides scholarships to students from all over Myanmar as well as outreach programs both by their teachers and their students to orphanages and monastery schools in poor townships of Yangon, is focusing it's resources on disaster relief and is accepting donations that can go directly to helping the people of Yangon.

Please visit the above site for updates and information from inside Yangon on what is being done and how you can help.

  • Another organization working within Myanmar that is needing donations for disaster relief. I know both of these groups personally and can guarantee that funds donated to these groups will go directly to the Burmese people.

  • "I know you are hearing a lot on the news about what isn’t going well here in terms of delivery of assistance to cyclone survivors. You’re hearing about supply boats sinking, planes impounded and supplies being confiscated over technicalities, the slowness of unloading cargo, distribution being blocked, etc. While those reports can be corroborated here on the ground, it’s enough to drive us all to distraction. So let me counter all that with a dose of the good stuff – the cooperation and compassion and resourcefulness – that we see evidenced around us from Myanmar people and from both local and international agencies and their staff."

    This is part of a message I just received from an aid worker in Yangon. A lot of positive work is being done within Myanmar by the smaller local organizations and the Burmese people themselves. More details on above website...
