“The official death toll from Burma’s killer cyclone has nearly doubled to 78,000 as aid workers hampered by the country’s un-cooperative military regime struggled to get basic data about the needs of up to 2.5 million desperate survivors.
Burma state television said the official death count from the May 3 cyclone was 77,738, with another 55,917 missing. The Red Cross warned that the lack of clean water may increase the number of deaths.” - Press Association
Let’s put Humanity First! Let’s not buy that nice dress or shoes this weekend and donate at least $20 that could essentially save lives. There will always be nice dresses and shoes in stores but lives cannot be reversed!
Remember that WE ARE BLESSED! We are blessed to have a home, have shelter, food, money, access to technology, health care. We are blessed to be able to see, write, type, read, listen and not be afraid for our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
If situation was reversed, we’d plead for help and people would step up from all over the world to help. We have to do the same. We are all of one kind. We laugh, and cry, and are as vulnerable if put in the same conditions. We deserve to have our basic necessities of life met.
Please help Humanity First help those in great need. Every dollar counts. Every dollar always counts!

Imagine if you had gone through the cyclone that hit our country (Burma) during the very early hours of Saturday, May 3 … if you lost your home and all your belongings … if you lost a person dear to you
in the cyclone …your mother or father, or perhaps a child or spouse. The cyclone that hit Myanmar on last May 3,Saturday of the Nargis cyclone reached 240 km/h (150 miles per hour) in the area of the Irrawaddy River delta and the Yangon harbor.
In accord with the response of our government for international helps, no doubt to say it is delayed already. We feel that this is the right time to stand and take up the responsibility, to care and provide for the needy ones both physically and spiritually.
We are now ready to sacrifice to enter to the most affected areas where no help have been taken yet. There will not be any contrast between the governments. I am assured you that all of your
contributions/helps will definitely reach to the needy, so that they will have life.
Please join us in praying for the precious survivors of Cyclone Nargis who have suffered so much. As we do, let us pray not only for physical provision to sustain the lives of those who have lost literally
everything.
Our objective is to compel 1,000 people to take an action. Obviously, more would be better but we feel that 1,000 is a reasonable number to shoot for. If the average person or church that takes the challenge contributes only $10 each,this could potentially save literally hundreds of lives in Myanmar.
What the urgently need to support them is Food, Water, Clothing and Mosquito net materials for emergency shelter as well as financial assistance.
Your teammate in reaching the needy,
Stephen Mang
Yangon,Myanmar.
