A fundraising event for Myanmar earthquake victims was held at the Myanmar Community and Cultural Center in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States on March 31. The event, organized by One Myanmar Community (OMC) under the title ‘Let’s Help Together, Our Unfortunate Country,’ took place from 11 AM to 6 PM. The Bay Area Myanmar community came together to support their fellow citizens affected by the earthquake back home, demonstrating strong solidarity during this critical time.
The fundraising event featured special programs for donors, including musical performances by students and young people, while volunteers served traditional Myanmar food and refreshments. Throughout the event, the local Myanmar community showed remarkable unity and enthusiasm in their participation and contributions to support earthquake victims. The organizers carefully planned the distribution of funds to ensure they would reach the areas most severely affected by the earthquake.
The fundraising event successfully collected over thirty-eight thousand US dollars in donations, which will be carefully vetted and distributed directly to organizations working alongside affected communities in the earthquake-stricken regions. The organizers emphasized that this event was specifically designed to facilitate rapid delivery of essential aid to earthquake victims who are in urgent need of assistance. The funds will be channeled through verified relief organizations actively working with local communities in the most severely impacted areas.
