Come on, guys! Please donate to the organisation that you feel is most effective. THESE PEOPLE NEED YOUR COMPASSION AND GENEROSITY NOW!
This is breaking my heart and I am trying to do everything I can, but it feels like it isn't enough, and I hate that powerlessness. |

I took this photograph in Yangon. How repulsive it is to see these hideous generals being portrayed in such a pious manner.

This link may be of some use for those wishing to bypass the regime.
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/burma_cyclone/6.php?cl=86396597
By going through this site, you donate money directly to the monks in Burma.
Giving to the monks is a smart, fast way to get aid directly to Burma's people. Governments and international aid organizations are important, but face challenges--they may not be allowed into Burma, or they may be forced to provide aid according to the military government's rules. And most will have to spend large amounts of money just setting up operations in the country. The monks are already on the front lines of the aid effort--housing, feeding, and supporting the victims of the cyclone since the day it struck. The International Burmese Monks Organization will send money directly to each monastery through their own networks, bypassing regime controls. |
