Colorado Charity #20023003563
| The first Sao Thusandi Leadership Award was given to an accomplished and deserving refugee from Shan State in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on November 29, 2008. This Award honors young people from Shan State who are committed to taking a leadership role in establishing a democratic, peaceful and thriving Shan State. The recipients must have a desire to live in Shan State when that becomes possible. A Burma Lifeline director was present at the first award ceremony in Chiang Mai. This award, worth $3,000, will be given annually by Burma Lifeline. Inge Sargent |
Cyclone Nargis |
| Cyclone Nargis devastated the Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma on May 2, 2008, killing at least as many people as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and destroying the homes and livelihoods of millions. When the international community was prevented by Burma's military from helping the victims of the cyclone, Burma Lifeline found ways to help. American donors responded so generously to an appeal by our president that Burma Lifeline was able to send $100,000 to aid the survivors; $87,000 poured in from kind donors and BL contributed $13,000 from unrestricted funds. We can not reveal how our aid was delivered, but it reached the survivors in Burma's delta region. Let's just say that being a small charity was of great advantage. Inge Sargent |
