4. Update 5/11
In cooperation with

The Conscious Alliance
Christian Disaster response
ARRR
Whole Foods
Organic Valley

We are currently still in Negotiations with Myanmar officials and other
networks to supply direct aid.

We have chosen to activated our network, and have been asked to
accompany the relief goods until it reaches those affected. In response we
will be activating a small crew to deploy. Everyone is on Stand By at this
time.

Anyone who is participating on this level will need to be self funded,
and be able to carry out their duties under harsh circumstances with a
full understanding to the sensitivity.

More opportunities to volunteer may come over the next few days.



Domestic Response

We may have opportunity for a hands on response here at home. There has
been discussion to sort items into "family packs". Items would be
sorted in the warehouse , distribution style, and packed for shipment.

This project is still in the planning phase, and is not being put into
action at this time.

Volunteers for this project will need to deploy rapidly on their own
funding.



We will be conferencing with the Project Director of Amnesty
internationals, "Free Burma Project", tonight to gain a better understanding to
the current and previous working environment's in Myanmar.
