A Very Special Thank you!!

Last Saturday, Nov 24, 2007, a Burmese Food Fair took place to raise funds for the monks in Burma, for their alms, medicine and basic necessities. Even though it was short notice, we had an overwhelming turnout, and raised a total of C$ 3,357.00. A bank draft for the amount of same, made payable to "MoeMaKa, was sent via registered mail today. MoeMaKa Radio and Multimedia will in turn ensure that the funds get to the monks in Burma, and will also be posting news about this donation on their website.

We could not have done this without the support of friends from the the Burmese-Canadian Community, which include various ethnic nationalities. Thank you to all who cooked, cleaned, set up, advertised, encouraged, and attended to suppor the fundraising. Thank you as well to all musicians and entertainers, and a special thank you to singer Tiffany and our little dancer, Thazin.

From food sale: C$ 2,415.00 (this inclueds not only profit but also cost, as most of the sellers donated the entire amount)
