The Executive Committee Members (EXCOM) of the Myanmar Marketing Committee (MMC) has initiated its relief effort together with the Union of Myanmar Travel Association for the Cyclone Nargis Victims by sending aid directly to those who are desperately in need at Phya Pone District and nearby villages at lower Ayeyarwady Delta consisting of the following: -
- Clothing
- Medicine
- Bags of Rice
- Bags of Dhal
- Bags of Potato
- Drinking Water
- Ground Sheets
- Antiseptic Soaps & Detergent
- Cooking Pots and other Household Goods
As of June 2008, the Myanmar Tourism Cyclone Relief Team had been able to reach out to 5,000 families reside at 70 villages and distributed the above mentioned aid items directly, and hence, MMC urges all members and travel trade also to get involve for such humanitarian effort.
Cash donations could be sent to MMC Office at Traders Hotel, Level 3 - Business Centre and or other donations in kind to be delivered directly to MMC's Storage of Nargis Relief Aid at Inya Lake Hotel by contacting through the Reception. For donations from overseas, please long on to http://www.exotissimo.com/myanmar-cyclone/relief-donation.html.
Additionally, volunteers are also needed to help us organize and distribute all aid directly to those victims. Do contact us if you are interested to be part of our relief effort team.
