Please Donate Aid to Myanmar (Burma)

As you might have heard in the news and can see here, Myanmar (Burma) was devastated by Cyclone (Hurricane) Nargis this Saturday. The damage is quite extensive - I know personally because my wife is Burmese, she in fact is in Yangon (Rangoon) now helping her parents with the clean-up and I will be joining her this weekend for two weeks. If you can, please done money here to the American Burmese Buddhist Association, an organization which runs Burmese Buddhist monasteries in the United States. The monks at these monasteries are sending the money directly to people in Burma who need the money - no worries about it being appropriated by the military government or going into the pockets of some fund administrator. Thank you.

PS. Myanmar is the name for Burma in Burmese, the language of the largest ethnic group in the country. (In fact, in Burmese the name of the country, people, and language is Myanmar.) Burma was the name given to the region by the British.
