Sayadaw was traveling from Bangkok this afternoon and funding raising for Nargis victims. This is part of his fund raising tour starting from Thailand and he is planning to travel to Tokyo, Japan.
His tremendous relief work in Irrawaddy delta since 8th May 2008, just six days after Nargis destroyed unknown numbers of property and one hundred and forty thousand people lost their lives and more than two million homeless.
He started moving his Sitagu relief mission towards Boka-lay, the most effective area with five thousand bags of rice, twenty tons of medicine and water, one hundred millions of cash to the people who couldn’t be reached by the government.
His main objective is to repair two thousands of monasteries in the delta because five hundred thousand refugees are depending on Buddhist monasteries there. Sayadaw’s next mission is to support local medical clinics and monastic schools.
