Distributing Mosquito Nets in Po Ma Htaw Village

Report from a colleague in Burma:

It is a sunny day. Me and my uncle went to Po Ma Htaw village to distribute the mosquito net by motorcycle.




While it is difficult to get children for the people who are living in the city, the people who live in the villages have many kids. They don't have access to birth control. They are not afraid of poverty.




The old lady who spends her whole life in a bamboo hut said "God bless you."


She has six children. Still struggling for family. Can’t rely on her husband.  She receives two nets.


I am not feeling well. I have no money to buy it but now I get it . Thank you so much.


My younger brother and sister are playing with their friends. I am alone at home. Tonight we will sleep in our new net.

She invites me in to the house but it is not easy to step in to . She said please say thank you to the donors.


The head of  the village (U Tin Oo) helps me distributing the net.

We distributed 35 mosquito nets from the people who love the people in need.

Thank you so much, On behalf of the villagers (U Tin Oo)

Dear Dr. Neil, Diana, and FOB Donors, We would like to thank you and the FOB donors for your kind and generous donations that have made a difference in the life of many poor families and individuals in Myanmar. Even before the current crisis, Myanmar was one of the poorest countries in the world. Needless to say, the poor people have become poorer and depended on the generous donation from people like you for survival and hope. Whenever we received donations from FOB donors like you, we bought bags of rice (and bottles of oil which we cannot do at this time because of the rising prices of cooking oil and others) and distributed them to the more needy families and individuals. This time, we went to the outskirts of Yangon and gave away some bags of rice to the needy there. Since they unexpectedly received bags of rice when they could hardly put food on their tables (many don't even have tables for food), your donation gave them hope for a better future. Literally, donations like you
