Flooding

I am just reading about the extreme flooding in Burma. I am currently in Hpa'an in the south where there has been flooding, and people are displaced. But there is a relief effort here and this area is  more easily accessible for aid. However, I see the far north has been the most affected. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to leave Sittwe when I did. There was little to no warning given to the people about the severity of the flooding and the possibility of a cyclone. As I had the luxury of access to the BBC, I could hear that as a possibility. I feel so sad for all the people affected. This is the poorest part of the country and in some ways completely isolated. The corrupt government is calling for support from the international community. If you have the opportunity to donate to the people of Burma (Myanmar) through a reputable international organization collecting donations, please considering doing so.
