Even if we can't meet in person, we are together at heart
Thanks to the efforts and help of every supporter, rice was acquired in Myanmar and delivered to the village on the condition that only goods are being passed through the border with the exception of people. From Myanmar to the border, and from the border to the village, it took more time to transport than usual, but everyone was willing to deliver hope to the Myanmar refugees. On November 26th and 27th, we were able to provide rice to 230 households in Karen state. It wasn't just rice that was given to the isolated village, but it was also the greetings and support from all of you. Once again, thank you for encouraging refugees to overcome their difficulties.
Global Civic Sharing will be with the refugees until the end of the poverty.
Refugees living near the borders have made their living by moving across borders as day by day laborers. However, their situation has worsened with the border closure causing them to lose their jobs and eventually run out of food. While confirmed COVID-19 cases continue to be reported in both Myanmar and Thailand, GCS stands in solidarity with refugees until the day when COVID-19 comes to an end.
Amid the hardships experienced due to COVID-19, your partnership is most worthy and grateful for global neighbors. We are looking forward to our next update about the way in which your generosity is making a difference for the refugees in Myanmar.
In gratitude,
Global Civic Sharing
