Dear Project Enlighten Supporters, Family and Friends,

In recent days the Project Enlighten Team has asked you to respond
along side us in support of the Burma Relief Fund. On May 3, 2008 a
monumental event occurred along the coast of Burma: Cyclone Nargis
struck and has decimated communities within the delta regions. You
have responded in helping us raise $4,000!!! The money was wired over
on May 13th and supplies are being purchased and shipped to those in
need. You are helping provide clean water, medicine, food, and other
relief supplies to the survivors of the cyclone.We are nearly half way
to our goal of raising $10,000 in one week! We implore you to pass on
this message and encourage others to help us raise more for the
survivors.

As of 5/12/08, the UN reported that 150,000 are feared dead, 2,000,000
are in serious need of aid, and 1,500,000 are in serious danger of
disease (diarrhea, malaria, cholera, water borne illnesses, measles,
etc) . Some victims have been drinking whatever water is available,
with many freshwater sources contaminated by saltwater or littered
with decaying human bodies and animal carcasses. 24,000,000 people
live in the cyclone affected areas. There are 220,000 people reported
missing. The catastrophe that occurred in Burma, one of the poorest
countries in the world, is now designated as the world's most
devastating natural disaster in 50 years. BKK Post reports that over
40% of the victims are children, because they were not strong enough
to hold on to trees, etc.

With a heavy heart, we ask you to please view this photo album sent to
us by our Burmese partners. They have recorded, acquired and passed on
the photographic history of the destruction of Cyclone Nargis. We
continue to ask for your help! Please view and pass on to others, we
ask this with respect to those who are represented in this album. We
must not let their deaths end the plight of survival for those who
were left behind:
