Disaster relief mission in Myanmar

As many of you know, massive disasters have touched both China and Myanmar. Well over 100,000 are dead in Myanmar and one report indicated over 80,000 are dead in China. China continues to get most of the press. However, international relief is getting into China, and the Chinese government is far more able to handle the scope of the disaster.

This is not the case in Myanmar where things are far worse. Over 1.4 million people in the Irrawaddy river delta region are in acute long-term danger death from disease, and starvation. International aid has been kept out because of the self-centeredness of the government. Myanmar does not have the infrastructure China does in terms of getting aid to the most needy quickly.

Daniel and Levi Lim are coordinating a relief mission to Myanmar. Levi is a citizen from Myanmar with ties to some key leadership in the nation.

Check out their website.

If you are looking for a place to bring both physical and natural relief, I strongly encourage everyone to give towards this mission. I have traveled with them to Myanmar in August 2006. Daniel and Levi are top quality leaders for the cause of Christ.
