What a heartbreaking day it is when we have to request through the UN help for aid to a country that has been devastated by circumstances beyon our control. It's discouraging to think that a country would deny aid to it's own people, yet that is what's going on right now in Burma/Myanmar. Thousands could be missing and possibly dying and there is nothing that can be done to encourage the military regime to open it's doors. What are they afraid of? Being taken over? Possibly. The outside world seeing how desolate the country really is. The world openig it's eyes to see the real Burma/Myanmar that we are denied access to? All of the above? They are scared and are hiding something. I would like to see the UN doing somthing about it.
I'm including a website with this post. The address is for the US Campaign for Burma.
http://uscampaignforburma.org/cyclone-nargis-devistates-burma I'm trying to help get the word out and educate people about the situation going on. It's only a small part, but I feel I must do something.
Here also is another site that has been set-up to help educate people on what has been going on. http://uscampaignforburma.org/action/flier.pdf and other still where you can write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper about your concerns and support of what is going on http://uscampaignforburma.org/action/burma_media.pdf. Please help in any way you can.
