Local helps

Rich or poor - It's the culture in Myanmar, part of the lifestyle - everyone help the poor and needy even during normal time, what more in time of this perhaps greatest of disaster for Myanmar? Monsoon effort is mainly driven and planned by our Myanmar senior managers. Our office staff and crew just came long to help out, donate money etc without thinking of gaining any thing in return.

Below is an extract of an article from from the Irrawaddy magazine....


From shopkeepers handing out free rice porridge to medical students caring for the sick, ordinary people in Burma are stepping in to help cyclone victims .......

Taxi drivers, factory owners, college students, teachers and other Rangoon residents—some of whom lost their own homes—are among those organizing grueling trips into the Irrawaddy delta, the hardest-hit region by the May 2-3 cyclone.
