Help Cyclone Survivors

At around 3am on Saturday May 3 2008 Cyclone Nargis hit Burma (Myanmar), sending winds of up to 190 km per hour crashing through the country and leaving an estimated 60,000 people dead and more than 40,000 missing. The death toll is rising and nearly 1.9 million people in Burma are "severely affected" by the most devastating cyclone to hit Asia since 1991, the UN says.

Oregon Rohingya Society USA is accepting donations to help partners on the ground bring relief to affected victims directly.
