Burma (Myanmar) Relief
As of May 8, there are reports that the death toll from Cyclone Nargis could top 100,000. Despite the governmental barriers, communications difficulties and inaccessibility, international relief agencies are struggling to reach those affected. There is an urgent need for food, potable water, shelter, medical aid and fuel. The Union for Reform Judaism recommends donations to help in the effort be made to the Jewish Coalition for Disaster Relief (www.jcdr.org)
Credit card donations can be made online at www.jdc.org or by phone, 212.687.6200. Checks can be made out to JDC: Myanmar Cyclone Relief and sent to:
