Debra Chiat and Myanmar
That's Debra on the right, helping set up a temporary school in a monastery.
One of Jay's daughters, Debra, lives in Rome with her husband, Alfredo, and four children. For years, they have been running a humanitarian organization called SHARE - Human Life Project.
They work in Rwanda, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Morocco - helping to create and support schools, combat malaria, build wells, and create professional training programs in Natural Medicine.
Debra wrote to me today to say that she and Alfredo have just returned from Myamar where they were granted permission by the government to visit the delta where the cyclone "Nargis" hit. (This is EXTREMELY rare for the government there to allow any international aid access.)
The organization is in great need of money to help provide the survivors of the cyclone to rice, oil and other needed food as well as to cover the cost of pots and other basic kitchen needs. And then comes the job of building schools.
Here is a pdf file outlining the challenges facing them. Here is how you can help out. You can email Debra at ...
