Save your guilt. I’m not sending money to Myanmar.

May 9, 2008

Here’s exactly why I won’t be donating a penny to cyclone relief in Myanmar/Burma.

The government won’t let most relief workers even enter the country and what aid does come in is seized. Even the UN seems to see that it’s a futile effort.

So Oxfam and Plan Canada and Red Cross — save the paper and don’t send me any requests. I’ll direct my charitable donations to places where it will actually help the people it’s intended to help.
