A storm is brewing on the Thai/Burma border in Southeast Asia. Hostilities in Karen State, Burma are causing many people to be displaced from their homes/villages as they attempt to flee the fighting to protect their families. This is resulting in refugees moving into, or toward, Thailand with no food, no shelter, no clothing, no nothing. We are partnering with The Displaced Persons Response Network and the Karen Department of Health and Welfare to raise money for the purchase of rice, salt, supplies for construction of shelters, medicine, clothing, and other basic survival necessities. We would like to invite you to participate with us in this endeavor.
This fund-raising project is part of a broad effort to save lives and improve quality of life for many people in great need. The people who will benefit from this project literally only have the clothes on their back and they have no other options.
A running total will be kept on this facebook page so that you can see what impact you are having.
For a little less than $600.00 enough rice can be bought (about one ton) and it will feed 60 people for one month. That is not a lot of money for a major impact.
100% of all donations received between December 17, 2010 and January 31, 2011 will be sent to the field. No special indication/designation need be made to ensure funds make it to Thailand, it’s all going.
Thank you in advance for being a part of something bigger than all of us.
