News report from AMURT / AMURTEL Burma
Namaskar dear all,
You may have followed the News reports over the last two weeks. The working conditions are extremely difficult due to the restrictions imposed by the Burmese military government. The International NGO community is waiting in the start holes waiting for the necessary permissions to implement their relief activities.
In spite of all these obstacles, AMURT has been able to organize massive food distributions in the affected Delta area! We have so far sent trucks into the heavily damaged Kungyangon district three hours South-West of Yangon City. The distributed parcels with basic food items benefited the affected households and the host community of the medium size town of Twa Chaung.

AMURT IS COLLECTING FUNDS FOR THE CYCLONE RELIEF

AMURT is cited as one of the agencies collecting contributions to help those affected by the cyclone in Myanmar. The list is from InterAction, a coalition of more than 150 humanitarian agencies providing relief, refugee assistance and sustainable programs worldwide.
Message received from Dr. Pashupati: "As you have heard, over 10,000 people have been killed in a cyclone in Burma (Myanmar) and 100,000 left homeless. AMURT is sending our best-trained worker, Dada Nirmalkrsnananda, to the scene immediately, to organize our relief response.
