| updated on: 2008-10-23 | |
Dear Friends, For 20 October 2008, International Chefs Day, we made breakfast for orphans in Yangon. In addition, there was a free medical check-up at five different villages. The check-ups were conducted by nine local doctors associated with the Myanmar Chefs Association (MCA).  22 October was a somewhat special day, given to the survivors of Nargis by the people of Netherlands. The Parents of Inya Lake GM celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and donated all funds to MCA for the purchase of rice for the people of the Delta. The donations amounted to a sum of US$2000. Furthermore, Mr Jakob from the Dutch Shipping Agency called early in the morning and donated a sum US$5000 from one of his clients: The shipping line True North-Wallem Group Netherlands. Thank you Jakob of Voigt company, Myanmar. More good news: The first houses from the hundreds of housing projects financed by AP Moller Singapore - Maersk Comp commenced on 23 October. 23 October also saw us on a Delta Trip with Mrs Christine, where we collected Aid Funds from her Swiss friends. Toni and Lotti Steiner has also announced plans to install a future-oriented Micro Financing program for the people of the Delta. We will propose the idea with community and religious leaders from 22 villages, and we will see how it goes. Thanks for the efforts of people like Mr Frank, Mr Hoz and Mrs Marie Luise, we are finally at the last stages of preparation for a special aid effort for Myanmar and its people. The first 11 boats are there already and we are hoping for a happy end of all good activities to, in and for Myanmar and its people. Mrs Agnes James of Singapore Airlines Frankfurt again booked 250 to 300kg of the best branded cloths for people at the Delta. They are due for arrival in mid November, and will bring the total weight of clothes close to 1000kg.Thank you Agnes. Many thanks again to all the great donors. In respect to your efforts to the people of Myanmar, Oliver E Soe Thet |
