An event to raise funds for earthquake relief in Myanmar was held at Tha Phae Gate in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on June 22. The Myanmar Centre at Chiang Mai University (CMU), in collaboration with the Myanmar community in Chiang Mai, organized the event.
“Myanmar citizens abroad and Myanmar citizens in Thailand are also trying to work together to help in any way they can,” said Mee Mee, the event organizer. She added that that funds raised from this event will go toward earthquake relief in Myanmar’s Sagaing Region, the epicenter of the March 28 earthquake.
The event featured musical performances, traditional Myanmar dancing, food, arts and crafts. Souvenir t-shirts, handbags, and sling bags were sold by various vendors from the Myanmar community in northern Thailand.
