The Mandalay Cafe and Restaurant in Silver Spring, MD, is a family owned Burmese restaurant with family in and strong ties to Myanmar (Burma). We are very concerned about our family there, and of course about everyone affected by Cyclone Nargis.

We are looking into what we can realistically do in terms of relief for Myanmar, and once we know what that will be we will contact those who have expressed interest in contributing to this effort. This Blog is a way to give people a way to express their interest in helping out. If you are interested, we ask you to post a comment on this blog and give us a way to contact you.

Also, as time goes by and we have better ideas as to what we will do we will update this Blog. We sincerely hope that the UN and the US will be permitted to assist, and we are keeping a close eye on the news.

We do promise that we will not use the information we gather here for anything EXCEPT cyclone relief. We are very much against spam and other forms of internet abuse.

ALL Comments initially went  to “moderation” rather than appearing automatically.  Now that we are sure your email address won’t be made public by your comment to our Blog we are re-setting that function.

We thank you for visiting and hope you will join us in doing what we can to help those in need.
