Providing food to the Internally Displaced People ( IDPs)

The generous donation of one of the Churches has provided food for IDPs in two different areas of Burma.  There is a constant conflict between the local revolution groups and the military regime in these two areas.  They could not stay at home anymore and left everything and fled to the camps for safety.  

Two pastors are taking care of them. Each group has around 60-80 people. With the donation, they cooked chicken and rice porridge to provide nutrition.  They ate together. 

They are thankful to the generous donors.

  A recent 7.7 magnitude earthquake has caused a devastating effect in central Myanmar, including Mandalay, Sagaing and other cities.  There are reports that the majority of the buildings in Mandalay were damaged or collapsed due to the earthquake. People were also afraid to go back to their homes due to the aftershock effects.  With the temperature of approximately 100F during day time, people in the affected areas are in need of clean water, food and shelter during this time.  Because of the generous donors, Friends of Burma was able to send some help through the local organizations.  Please consider helping in the effort to help people who are in need.
