Commune periculum concordiam parit - Common danger brings forth harmony

Have a look HERE, you will read that all the money donated via AVAAZ, will go direct to Burma’s Buddhist Monks via the International Burmese Monks Organization, and other relevant organisations, so it should reach the victims more directly and will not be siphoned off, misused, misappropriated, or commandeered as has happened in so many cases in the past.

If you wish to donate to help the victims of Cyclone ‘Nargis’, please think carefully about how you would like to channel your money.

Newspapers, governments, and various organisations OXFAM International, OXFAM GB, Save The Children, and many others around the world, are collecting donations, so the choice is great.

Please check very carefully how you may wish to donate, and make an informed choice, so that whichever choice you make, is your personal best choice.

The oppressive tyrannical military junta which rules Burma are seemingly unable and / or unwilling to help, so the international community has to strive to maximise the relief effort to provide emergency humanitarian relief to the long suffering people of Burma.
