Yesterday after posting a comment on another diary about Burma ......
Can't we concentrate on Myanmar and forget about superdelegates for one day?
by proud2Bliberal
I posted a link to a Rotary supported program that puts together shelterboxes for disaster relief.

As a frequent commenter but not a writer of diaries, I thought, "well hell I'll just thow one up and see if I can get a few dollars."
My diary written in hast was lame with some broken links and some peole thought it was a scam. But of course my fellow Kossacks checked it out and recomended it! I don't know how to post pictures and stuff but the members of the Daily Kos pictched in and raised 595 dolars towards a 1,000 box!......
I got tips for changing the title and improving the diary and we got 595 dollars.
So here I am hat in hand asking again.
the details on the shelter box is at this link.

Each disaster depletes our box inventory. Please consider donating today.
May 11 – MYANMAR (Burma)
A ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) has been in Myanmar since Thursday 8th of May. They were confirmed as the first UK based Humanitarian Aid / Disaster Relief team with aid to have permission to land after the devastating cyclone. The team spent the first 24 hours surveying and assessing the situation. ShelterBox can confirm that all relief will be distributed by the military with ShelterBox assistance but new ground has been broken over the weekend as ShelterBox Response Team members in Yangon meet with the Myanmar Fire and Rescue Service at the airport to instruct them on how to use and distribute this vital aid.

I got up early this morning actually worrying about a personal matter with my family and came here to be distracted while I drank my hot milk and there was a diary about the eathquake in China!
Bad things happen I know, but golly we are half way to paying for ONE shelter box. Please recommend this diary and if you can please donate. If you can't donate please email this link to your friends and family.
Rotary International is an organization funded by your local Roatary club. It is part of the Rotary mission to raise funds to do good things in the local community but part of the Rotary mission is to go good in the world and promote world peace!
So please help, recommend this diary so the folks that were visiting Mom yesterday get a chance to donate today.
