My appeal for the victims of the Burmese cyclone appeal yielded nearly a thousand pounds. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of members of the Northampton Bangladeshi Association, many of you came forward with your donations and we are grateful.
The cyclone that hit Burma last month was devastating, made all the more worse by the decisions of the military Government not to let Western aid into the country in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Although things are a lot better two months on, the situation remains dire for millions who have lost their homes and possessions and are likely to spend years rebuilding their shattered lives.
Once again, I am delighted that the people of Northampton have shown their generosity and dug deep to help those in need.
We will be forwarding our collection to our established partners Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF).
