One day of Hope & Help - Thank you for your donation !!

We arrived after 12:00 noon at Na Pyu Su Village group, three villages came together for the donation of Rice and Oil thanks to Dr Abraham of " Reisen mit Abraham - Myanmar Direkt Hilfe " - Frankfurt and U Aung Thoung Family, which
just came coincident in the day before when they were looking for a chance to donate direct to the people and got from the Ministry ofg Social Welfare ( Myanmar Government ) the info to call us at Myanmar Chefs Association for support ofd their plans.

The Rice Oils as well the Milupa Milk Boxes for the next 10 days were downloaded quick and the donation could start as all people were waiting already some time, very thank ful for all the good valuable food and nutrition.

They wanted us to visit ther next village to see what was still needed there ,-- as it is now the villages which did not get good on record by the big organizations or not at all. These villages need support. As we were in a time trap, we promised that we would see the village when we come back on 16.10.08 to set up the next load.

Meanwhile the smaller speedy boat came to us and when we left Na pyo Su we split again for the rest of Milupa Bar set up. They would take on Ga Tan and Taungyi on the upper river area, we would take Min Baw Su, Min Baw Tan and Htaung Thit , -where we found also several of the Eintracht Frankfurt boats in full service and use as Fisher Boats with the nets as well as ferry service. The to nice Logos and Flags the new owner took into their Houses , proud to have this in Myanmar highly status item as the Logo of a German premier league Football Club.

Next day 5.12.08 again back to the delta and load on what we loaded down the day before, today for 15 villages to start the Milupa Milk Bars again, so many times the people and children had asked for over the past weeks.

But after the bad Chinese Milk Scandal and the try of Chinese Government to putthis under the carpet from April 08 until July 08 ( where Fronterra New Zealandalways tried to find out what was wrong ). The Myanmar Government did he only right, all Milk Products needed to be tested first before enter to the country,- to protect the people first. A special Test machine was purchased by the Myanmar Government for over 1 Million $ US from Germany, - and over 13 products were not allowed into the country than.

Our Milupa Milk Donation was tested 100 % OK and so could we start again with the delivery of the new Milk Food. German Milk = Healthy Food , we are since officially allowed to advertise.

This day 5.12.08 would lead us also to Na Pyo Sue village Group much more south than usual we are, we followed special requests for Rice support to villages where we had not been jet, enabled through an outstanding work and advertising of Dr Abraham on the situation in Myanmar and its people in Germany. He was able to raise enoug money to support 250 families for another two weeks at least with good B1 vitamin rich Rice ration.

U Yi Wa Ra Seyadaw ( head monk ) came with us on the trip as this is also still his area and direct after Nargis he had
organized several loads of aid transports to there and much more south.

So we were with three boats on the river again the whole day.
