Princeton Alliance Church has providied an easy way to join the relief effort for the recent disasters in Myanmar and China, http://www.princetonalliance.org/relief/. It is very easy to help others in urgent need by using this weblink. Check it out.
Myanmar
On May 2, Cyclone Nargis made landfall in Myanmar (Burma), resulting in at least 80 000 fatalities and leaving many more people still missing. Nargis is considered the second deadliest named cyclone of all time.
United Nations reports put nearly 2 000 square miles of Myanmar underwater. Lack of clean water, food and medical supplies have sparked fears that the number of casualties will continue to climb rapidly.
China
Sichuan Earthquake
Barely two weeks later, on May 12, a 8.3 MW earthquake struck China's Sichuan province, causing at least 65 000 fatalities, 350 000 injuries and leaving at least 4.8 million people homeless.
The initial earthquake was followed by three major aftershocks that caused more deaths, injuries and collapsed another 420 000 buildings.
Practical Help
The church is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. CAMA, the disaster relief arm of the C&MA, has begun recovery efforts in both countries.
CAMA Director Phil Skellie explains their mission:
“A compassionate response during a disaster tangibly expresses Christ's love and opens doors for other ministries. Our initial goal is to raise [money] to assist with providing clean water and food, essential housing supplies and materials for rebuilding homes.”
Thank you!
