The U.S. will be able to send in five planeloads of supplies today, but no disaster assistance workers.Help is not arriving in time for the people of Burma.Humanity Healing is working to support the International Burmese Monks Organization for Humanitarian Relief:Healing Burma: Getting Relief to Myanmar The International Burmese Monks Organization, including many leaders of the democracy protests last fall, launched a new effort to provide relief through Burma's powerful grass roots network of monasteries—the most trusted institutions in the country and currently the only source of housing and support in many devastated communities.
