What agencies for donation to Myanmar ???

Question

Can someone recommmend me some Canadian agencies where we can donate money for the Cyclone Nargis Relief ??

Much appreciated. Thanks !!

Answer 1

Though it's not Canadian, this is a trusted site for donations:

https://donate.oxfamamerica.org/02/myanm...

Also, apparently the International Red Cross has managed to get in to provide help:

http://www.icrc.org/

Be careful of scams that are popping up all over the internet.

Answer 2

In addition to the scams that abound in this country there is another important factor to consider.

What happens to the relief when it gets there?  It is doubtful whether the needy population will receive the benefits sent as much of it is being picked over by the ruling junta and the military.
