How do we spend your donation so far?

FireFly Mission has to-date (as at 22-June-2008) spent S$167,166.59 of close to $465,000 collected, for immediate relief and mid-term rehabilitation work. Purchased and supplied the following supplies:

·  Medicine

·  Rice / Dahl (yellow beans) / Other food items

·  Clothing

·  Tarpaulin

·  Mosquito nets

·  Rice seeds / Ploughing (Tilling) machines / Diesel fuel for machine

 

None of the money collected is used for administrative charges or to pay for the Relief Team’s travel and other costs. The donation is used FULLY for the victims of the cyclone.
 

 

We are close to hitting our S$500,000 target!

The good news is that we are close to our collection target (set in May 2008) of S$500,000.  As at 22 June 2008, the total collection is approximately S$465,000, being made up of:

S$415,275.10, RM37,346.50, US$3846.56 and RM66,350 (collected in Johor). 
Thanks to so many of you who believe in us and the difference it can make to those victims we can reach in Myanmar.

 


REVISED PROPOSED BUDGET

Immediate - RELIEF WORK : SGD 150,000.00

Mid- and Long-Term - REHABILITATION WORK : SGD 550,000
(revised 2-July-2008)

 


 

Why we need MORE donations

In the worst hit areas, which happen to be the places where we are familiar with because we had provided some humanitarian assistance in the past, we assessed the need to rebuild 6 schools and 2 clinics. Schools reconstruction will cost from S$20,000 (primary school) – S$150,000 (middle cum high school), a sum that is not enough to build a Singapore school tuckshop / buy a 3-room HDB apartment. The estimated costs for clinics reconstruction are between S$30,000 – S$80,000.


These schools and clinics will serve about 15-20 villages or 2,500-3,000 families (more than the number of families living in 4 blocks of 16-storey HDB). The total cost of this rebuilding is estimated to be S$500,000, most of which is to pay for the building materials. The labour is provided partly by the villages themselves.


Due to far wider coverage of relief and rehabilitation effort, we have reset our target to S$700,000.00.
We need a further S$235,000!


We therefore appeal to you to help us so that we can help MORE people to help themselves.  Please donate generously. Share FireFly Mission’s work in Myanmar with your friends and family…see the photos (
