The first container arrived to Yangon port

We are very pleased to inform that the first container carrying 10 tons of clothes for cyclone victims has made a successful voyage and arrived to Yangon Port yesterday, 23rd July 2008. Our counterpart, Myanmar Geosciences Society (MGS), has received the official notification letter from the shipping company and is now preparing to go through the port clearence procedure. It is expected to finish in a few days and after securing the container in hand, MGS will finalize the detailed plan of donation. Meanwhile, our major japanese donors are also planning a trip to Yangon to join and see the distributions at hard hit area. The second container, double the size of the first, with the same content is awaiting the paper works to be done at both sides and will be ship out shortly.
