Help for Burmese Orphans |

These children, ethnic Karen, Burman, and Tavoyan, have lost their parents
in fighting between the KNU and the Burmese army or to diseases which are
endemic in the area, especially malaria.
The abbot of the monastery doesn't discriminate between Karen or Burman,
KNU or DKBO. Although he can offer the orphans adequate shelter, he stresses
that their condition is pitiful. Providing them with sufficient food is the
most pressing problem. The two hundred children need at least 33 sacks of
rice every month, an impossible burden for the local village and the monastery.
Weaving for Women, a Sangkhlaburi-based refugee project long supported
by BRC-J, has offered to supply handwoven blankets for the children before
winter sets in and to try locally to get contributions of inexpensive school supplies.
BRC-J is making an emergency appeal for help to supply these children with
rice rations and other necessities.
