Thank you for your Compassion:Myanmar

Update

Celebration Video

On May 2nd, a massive cyclone struck the coast of Burma. The

impoverished and vulnerable Burmese people were not warned by their military

rulers.

As a wall of water swept the low lands of the country, as many as 100,000 were

killed and 2 million more lost their homes. The survivors continue to face

hunger, lack of medical care, and the threat of epidemic and deadly disease.

Humanity Healing has been working to raise awareness for the

International Burmese Monks Association through our website and networking

sites and funds for the Relief Effort through Avaaz. The monks are the fastest

way to bypass the military junta and get aid directly to the victims through

their existing network. So far, over $2,000,000 USD have been raised!

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.

The International Burmese Monks Organization will send money directly to each

monastery through their own networks, bypassing regime controls. For those of

you moved to contribute, thank you for your compassion. More is needed.

The UN estimates that less than half of the 2.4 million people victimized

by the storm have received emergency assistance.

This is not a tragedy we can ignore. Beyond country and race, this is a call to

the aid of Humanity. We have to face the darkness together and stand against

it: it is part of the work of Light.Humanity Healing is sponsoring Aid Drives,

Informational Programs, Global Meditations and Prayer Groups for the Relief of

the People of Myanmar. Join Us!

With deep gratitude and Much Metta,
