by Mennonite Central CommitteePrint Article Email to a Friend
AKRON, Pa.—Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is supporting partner organizations that are meeting basic needs for tens of thousands of people affected by Cyclone Nargis in the southeast Asian nation of Myanmar.
MCC is appealing for $500,000 in contributions for immediate relief response and longer-term recovery and rebuilding in Myanmar.
MCC is applying for additional funds from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank to help restore water systems that have been damaged by the cyclone. While MCC does not currently have staff members in Myanmar, MCC has long-standing partnerships with organizations in the country.
“We feel very fortunate to have local partners that are actively responding to the emergency,” says Ron Flaming, director of international programs.
