1. We are now focused on assisting four villages: 1 in Shwe Pau Kan, 1 in North Dagon, 2 in Dala. A 5th village may be added if manpower and funds are available and is currently being evaluated.

2. The food distribution program is now reduced, as expected, as people get back to their jobs and on their feet. However, we are still assisting about 2,000 families that we have observed to be still in destitution.

3. This month we started our rebuilding and reconstruction program in >a systematic way. In the past, we have provided ad-hoc emergency funds for simple repairs. This program involves rebuilding houses for about 300-500 families. Each bamboo and thatched house costs USD 200. We have started with 20 houses last week and as we learn from this experience, we hope to finish this rebuilding project by the end of the year.

4. As the rainy/monsoon season comes to an end in September, we expect the need for clean water to be more crucial. In each of these villages, we hope to provide wells that can be used by the entire community. This is not an easy task and finding good water sources can be risky and expensive. We will be working in consultation with other NGO's for this project.

5. In all this, besides helping lives and impacting the community, our final goal is to strengthen the existing churches and to plant churches in areas where the Lord opens the way. We hope to engage these communities for the long-term.

6. A more detailed "masterplan" is currently being prepared and will be ready by end-July. We can send you one if you want it but it will contain many details that may not be relevant to you. Pls let me know.

Once again, thank you for your trust and partnership with us in these efforts.
