There are several ways that we are attempting to assist in Myanmar:
1) A NCBM assessment team (2 people) left today from Raleigh to fly to Bangkok, Thailand. This team will meet with an international disaster relief team that has been organized by Hungarian Baptist Aid (HB Aid). The international Baptist disaster relief team will have members from Hungary, Australia and North Carolina. They are attempting to get visas to go into Myanmar from Thailand. This team has medical personnel, water purification equipment, disaster volunteers and other needed equipment and supplies.
2) We have contacted Baptist Global Response (BGR) to let them know that North Carolina Baptists want to help in Myanmar. BGR is also working to try to help in Myanmar.
3) We have set up a disaster relief fund for Myanmar disaster relief. If you would like to help financially you can send a check to: NC Baptist Men, PO Box 1107, Cary, NC 27512 (designate your check for Myanmar disaster relief).
