Introduction to Better Burma
This blog series had formally been devoted the activities of “Myanmar Pilgrimage,” an organization that led spiritual journeys throughout the Golden Land for meditators and groups. Going forward, all posts here will be exclusively intended for the Better Burma nonprofit. We have recently formed this organization in order to expand our mission from the media work of podcasts and essays, to supporting the Burmese people directly during this current crisis.
The current nonviolent movement can only be sustained so long as they have enough food, medical supplies, protective equipment, and other basic necessities. But with all the banks currently closed, it is not possible at this time to transfer funds, so it has been quite challenging for well-intended donors to send money where it is needed most. Fortunately, through local networks we are able to ensure that 100% of donations get where they are intended. So going forward, any donation made on our Insight Myanmar page will go not only towards supporting this podcast platform, but also the wider CDM mission as well as feeding monasteries, nunneries, and impoverished communities.
This blog platform will from this point forward be devoted to telling the stories of how your donation is going to support those in the thrust of the movement.
