Helping Hands: Bruin Support for Burma Cyclone Relief Concert
the message
Dear Everyone,
On May 2 of this year, Cyclone Nargis swept across the coastal areas of Myanmar (known as Burma), causing major damage, especially in the country's largest city of Yangon and in the Irrawaddy Delta region. Over 2.4 million Burmese citizens were affected and over 134,000 are now dead or missing. Despite international aid offered, cyclone victims remain desperately in need of help from everyone and from everywhere.
To assist those victims in Burma, the Burmese Student Association (BSA) at UCLA is planning on holding its very first fund-raising event, "Helping Hands: Bruin Support for Burma's Cyclone Relief at UCLA".
On behalf of BSA-UCLA, I cordially invite you, to be part of this program by either volunteering or contribution through donations and/or sponsorship. All proceeds from the program will benefit Sitagu Sayadaw and World Vision for cyclone relief efforts in Burma. This will enable the victims to receive lifesaving supplies, emergency medicine, food, clean water, and shelter. Therefore, your kind help and generous contributions to this program are greatly appreciated.
Imagine the lives of starving people who are in danger with their homes shattered. Imagine the satisfaction you will get by helping those people out. There is not a better time for you to help than now.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Sincerely,
Myo Thant
