A Trickle – Myanmar’s Aid Flow = Not Good
As noted in the previous post, reports coming in say that the amount of aid received in Myanmar the first week was enough for - one day!?! Normally this would be the time to dust off a few choice terms and derogatory adjectives, but to what good? I know some who talk louder to non-native English speakers, thinking extra volume helps deliver a message. But what good does it do to shout at the deaf and …?
Anyway, as mentioned before, it’s a time for creative solutions to get more aid to survivors. A group using creative solutions(that I have seen multiple mentions of), with good networks of local people on the ground, that are feeding thousands of people as you read this is highlighted below:
Foundation for the People of Burma
The Myanmar Relief Blog has a nice report on the good work of local Myanmar NGO:
Metta Development Foundation - (May 10 status report)
