BREAKING: Adventist Development and Relief Agency Photos from Burma: “
These are personal photos from ADRA employees in Yangoon. As I get information updates, I’ll update the blog.
Hearly Mayr, Director of Public Awareness, ADRA International has written that ADRA will be releasing more information about how they will be deploying their resources in the affected region.

With the death toll expected to mount and as many as 1 million possibly left homeless, the international community was poised to deliver aid to the military-ruled country, which normally keeps out most foreign officials and restricts their access inside the country.
Some aid agencies reported their assessment teams had reached areas of the largely isolated region but said getting in supplies and large numbers of aid workers would be difficult.
