Thank you from Rangoon (Yangon)

Hello
I am writing from Bangkok, having just returned from Rangoon. Many of you donated last year to the fund I started to provide teaching materials, clothing, printers and other items to the kids at the School for the Blind in Rangoon.

Even with all the things I bought for the school at that time there was still about $250 left in the fund. I donated a part of that to build a well in a drought-hit area of central Burma. Recently I was able to find a needy orphanage run by two monks in Rangoon. The kids come from the very outlying areas of Burma and represent many different ethnicities. I decided to use some of the money left to help this orphanage.
After consulting with the monks, I bought and delivered the following:

• 18 blankets
• 3 mosquito nets
• 24 pairs of sandals
• Bathing soap
• Disinfectant
• Enough food for a meal for 65 people including all the orphans and the workers at the orphanage

My bank, TD Bank, also donated about 100 pens, which I distributed to the kids.
​
In the accompanying picture, you see the kids holding their new items.

Thank you again for your help. I still have about $100 dollars in the account. When I distribute it, I will give you another update. If you feel like donating again…I won’t refuse. I will do my best to identify needy people and use it to help them. THANK YOU!
