Project Brief
On 2nd May 2008, Cyclone Nargis hits the nation
of Myanmar. It is the worst natural disaster in the history of Myanmar,
with at least 146,000 fatalities and 1.5 million people severely
affected by the cyclone.
As a response, CRS sent a recee team during 7th to 11th June 2008 to
examine the disaster situation after some delay in applying for visas.
After much evaluation and prayer, CRS decided to work with the local
orphanages in Yangon first and recruited volunteers to provide medical
aid and conduct children programs there.
After the access into the Irrawaddy Delta is approved, later relief
teams ventured into Bogale, one of the worst hit area in the Irrawaddy
Delta division. Into total, CRS sent 5 relief teams to Myanmar in 2008
& 2009. |
