Helping Myanmar children and families resettle
Hello Friends,
We are launching into the Cyberspace Universe 5 for 5 campaign from now until Christmas to try and feed 500,000 families that still have received little or no aid from the Cyclone Nargis destruction in Myanmar. For every $5 you donate, a family of 5 will receive one meal for 5 days. Thanks to charitable partners who are incurring all administration costs on our behalf, every dollar will be sent into Myanmar to the grassroots agencies working on the ground. The cyclone destroyed crop fields, rice stocks, and seed and grain storage facilities, as well as damaged fisheries, aquaculture and forestry resources. Outside support is need to assist families during this gap period between the planting and the harvest. To learn more please visit

Tax receipts issued to Canadian and American donors. Donations can be made on-line via credit card or cheque. Give Meaning in Canada will facilitate the donations. Donations will be converted to CANADIAN Dollars on the website.
Our goal is to raise $500,000 by Christmas - 100% of the donations will be transferred to Myanmar without interference or deduction!
Lend your support by circulating our on-line campaign to your social network.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Leanne Chan and Philip Lyall
