2025 Burmese Refugee Camp in Thailand & Karon Village in Myanmar
The rice donations shown below are combined with the funds Julien has collected.
900 KG/2000 lbs of rice donation to a refugee camp in Thailand
450 KG of rice in Karon Village (feeding 32 households) in Myanmar
450 KG 1000 lbs of rice (feeding 36 households) in Myanmar
Unfortunately, Maung Maung (the local person who managed the funds in Myanmar after each transfer) has been unable to meet his commitments on a number of occasions. This has resulted in the termination of financial assistance. Thank you all for supporting this community and believing in this project I've set up. Unfortunately it has to stop from October 2024 as I can not guarantee that all the donated money will be used properly.
September 2024
Heavy rainfall and strong winds has made it more difficult to live in such circumstances. The most important thing in this month is to have a dry home, food, and water.

July 2024
The month July and August can be the hardest months for the people in the outskirts of Yangon. They have heavy rainfall during this period and not everyone is able to make enough money to feet there family.
Due to the inflation rice got very expensive for the people who live below the poverty line
This bag of rice costs 40 USD which is insanely expensive compared to before February 2021.
We try to make sure everyone has enough rice during this period.
Even though the local community has maybe different priorities. I try to motivate them to keep their streets clean as they are living on squated land.
Back of the street used to be used as a garbage belt but we try to get rid of all of the rubbish
Food for people who are helping to keep the streets clean
Food to share after clean up
