Partnership with Buddhist Global Relief

We are so appreciative to have received a generous donation from Buddhist Global Relief (BGR) to the Better Burma nonprofit. They have designated that their contribution go towards providing food to those in need, and we will ensure that the fund goes directly to this earmarked purpose.

BGR is connected to the Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi, who spoke to Insight Myanmar Podcast about the developing crisis since the coup. In their own words, they describe their vision as:

We are inspired by the vision of a world in which debilitating poverty has finally been banished; a world in which all can avail themselves of the basic material supports of a meaningful life—food, clothing, housing, and health care; a world in which everyone can achieve a satisfactory level of education and freely pursue that which gives their life value and purpose; a world in which all people dwell in peace and harmony with one another and with the natural environment.

We are also deeply grateful that they have requested us to share further information about this crisis to their wide audience base, which we have done so on their website.

BGR has indicated they will continue to regularly provide funds, which will be so critical for those Burmese now enduring the terrors of this evil regime. Please consider how you may be able to support our work, or share in your network!
