Thousands raised for Burma relief

While a final figure has yet to be tallied, the Diary understands that the recent World Vision party hosted in Brannockstown NS by Robert and Olive Dunlop has raised several thousand euros for flood relief in Burma.



A full report of the event appears on the Kilcullen page in this Wednesday's Kildare Nationalist.

In the meantime, this report in the International Herald Tribune sums up very well what conditions are like in the stricken area of the Irriwady Delta.
