Despite its struggles to be a self-sufficient nation, "Myanmar" should be the operative word here. thanks for the comments! i just learned about another legitimate NGO accepting donations to Myanmar aid.

Just a word of warning, if you're going to donate, be very careful who you give your money to. Both the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission are warning about scams. It's sickening that people would take advantage of the situation, but there you have it. Both the BBB and FTC websites have more information for evaluating charities. Great article!

I visited Burma two years ago, and though my time there was limited, it forever changed my view of the world. I left a part of myself in the country, and I'm counting the days until I can go back. The news of the cyclone breaks my heart...the people of Burma just cant seem to catch a break. I wrote a little bit about the most recent uprising a few months ago and my experiences of my trip in my matador blog, you can check it out at: http://matadortravel.com/travel-blog/myanmar/michalola/burmese-dreams Loved this piece!
