Dear All,
As many of you know, a major earthquake struck Myanmar on Wednesday, 5:05 pm, August 24, 2016. , causing massive damage. Three people are confirmed dead, and many have been injured. The epicenter of the quake, which measured 6.8 on the Richter scale, was in Chowk near Bagan, and over 200 Ancient Pagodas were damaged.
On Behalf of TDSA (Theravada Dhamma Society of America), aka Sitagu Buddha Vihara, we would like solicit support particularly for restoring the Pagodas, monasteries and nunneries in the damage area. You may donate directly to TDSA and earmark your donation for Myanmar Earthquake Relief. We will then transfer the funds to Sitagu Sayadawgyi in Sagaing, Myanmar who will put the funds to optimal use.
