Myanmar Disaster Relief: Latest Updates -

We may be half a world away, but we at the Oregon Trail Chapter can still connect you with disaster relief in Myanmar. You can now donate specifically to Myanmar Relief and Development here.

Also, this just in:

The American Red Cross stands ready to provide $1.25 million in aid and supplies to the Myanmar Red Cross as they cope with the growing needs. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies just received word that its shipment of shelter kits (tarps, hammers, ropes and other items needed for temporary cover) landed in Yangon and will soon be distributed by the Myanmar Red Cross to the cyclone survivors. And joining the American Red Cross and the International Federation today in supporting the Myanmar Red Cross are the Japanese Red Cross, British Red Cross and Swiss Red Cross societies.
