An event called Solidarity for Hope to raise funds for earthquake relief in Myanmar – one month after a devastating 7.7 magnitude quake struck that killed over 4,000 people – was held at Lan Din in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on April 28.
“This fundraising is going to the Myanmar [civil society] groups that are based here in Chiang Mai. They are volunteers that are connected with the [aid workers] and organizations on the ground,” said Pi Ae, the event’s organizer.
All proceeds will go to the Myanmar Earthquake Response Coordination Unit, which was established on March 29 to provide relief to the hardest-hit regions of Sagaing and Mandalay, as well as southern Shan State’s Inle Lake.
