Burma: $2 million raised for monks

May 25, 2008

Avaaz Members from 124 Countries Donate $2,000,000 to the Burmese People


Dear friends,

In the days since a catastrophic cyclone struck Burma and killed over 100,000 people, Avaaz members have donated $2 million (almost 1.3 million Euros) to the aid effort. Our community has given more than many governments, and our aid hasn't been stopped at the border like theirs -- we've supported Burmese monks and other aid groups who have worked without their brutal government's permission.
