SEALNet's Myanmar Relief Efforts

Cyclone Nargis made landfall in Burma on May 2nd, 2008, causing catastrophic destruction in the Irrawady Delta. UN estimates up to 102,000 people dead and 220,000 people missing. In an effort to help our Burmese neighbors, SEALNet is organizing several fund raising activities that will be unveiled in the coming days.

In the meantime, please visit the International Development Enterprises (IDE) website to contribute to their relief efforts there. SEALNet is collaborating with the Stanford Students United for Burma Relief to help fundraise for IDE. Please contribute generously!
