As the wait for foreign aid to trickle in drags on, overseas Burmese are raising funds to support the efforts of their countrymen in Burma who are obtaining relief supplies locally & distributing them directly to areas hit by Cyclone Nargis. As Burmese they are able to access affected areas that remain sealed off to foreign aid workers.
