Update: Myanmar Cyclone Aid

I posted the following update to my original post on how you can help victims of the Myanmar cyclone. The original post with information on aid organizations is here.

As you've probably read, there have been problems getting aid into Mynamar due to the military junta's confiscation of aid shipments. The SF Chronicle reports that aid will resume but that relief workers are still barred entry.

I received word from GlobalGiving that they have expanded their list of funded projects in Myanmar. The new list includes two projects, run by IDE and Save the Children, that are operating within Myanmar and have Government approval to provide aid to the victims of the devastating cyclone.
