The other day I got an email from Development and Peace. It's odd because I'm not even a subscriber. However, when I opened the email, I was amazed. This is what it said:
"There is no security on earth, but there are always opportunities to help one another.."
Burma One Year Later
One year since Cylcone Nargis took the lives of more than 140,000 people and left more than 2 million people without homes, Development and Peace, along with other partners, continue to support those affected. 91,145 families received relief assistance: food aid, water and other household items. 80 communities have safe drinking water: 26 ponds were cleared of debris, repaired, desalinated or constructed and 97 tube wells and storage tanks were constructed. 4,471 people were treated at mobile clinics, including 1,053 children under 5 years of age. 9,800 families received materials to repair their houses or construct tempory shelters. 1,343 families received new, permanent houses. 11 schools have been rebuilt. After reading the email, it just goes to show that EVERYONE can make a difference especially when we work together. We need more organizations like this to help make our world an even better place. For Pictures of everything Development and Peace have accomplished go to their website: http://www.devp.org/devpme/eng/international/burma-eng.html
I urge you to go to this website. It was quite an eyeopener for me....
