Short
Summary of things done:
We had reached out to many villages in the worst hit townships
of Bogale, Pyapon, Maulmeingyun & Dedaye
To maximise the relief & rehabilitation effort, Bro Chan stays
back in the Delta region for another 4-8 weeks. He will help the
Venerables and our local partners/coordinators in supervising
and coordinating the execution of relief & rehabilitation work.
Medicine had been distributed to Dedaye Hospital
The container will be cleared, and food items will be
distributed by our partner in compassion, Eden Company in
remote villages located in the Dedaye Township.
Medicine in the container will be distributed to Army Medical
Corporation operated in the Pyapon Township.
The only limitations we had is our inadequate financial
resources
Looking at the extent of destructions, our fund raised to date
could only effectively reach out to limited number of villages
