Special updates on Burma
Dear Faithful Supporter of Friends of Burma, Inc. There has been a military coup in Myanmar (Burma) that has overthrown the lawful government of Aung San Suu Kyi. There have been anti military demonstrations resulting in injuries. Plus covid cases. The result is that the hospitals in Yangon have been overwhelmed with patients. Some hospitals have been forced to close for lack of personnel. Other hospitals have run out of space in their halls and are turning people away. http://friendsofburma.org/donate/ The result is they are coming in large numbers to the KBC Hospital in Insein which we have supported. We gave that hospital $8,000 in October to help them deal with the Corona Virus crisis. That money came from undesignated funds that had accumulated during the year. We have received an e-mail requesting more money for medicine, and other supplies to help them deal with the crisis at the KBC Hospital in Insein. We disbursed all our reserves at the October Annual Meeting of Friend
