Myanmar may be allowing some relief organizations in soon. Let’s get the money to those groups now. Some links:
Donate to Unicef or Direct Relief International through Google.
Leave saving the world to the men? I don't think so.

NY Times this morning: “U.N. Suspends Aid Supplies to Myanmar.”
“The United Nations suspended relief supplies to Myanmar on Friday after the military government seized the food and equipment it had already sent into the country.”
There is no guarantee that any aid will reach the people. It will reach the junta.

I would like to recommend that AmeriCares, a nonprofit international disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization, be included in your list of reputable organizations contributing to relief efforts in Burma.
At this very moment, AmeriCares personnel have arrived in Amsterdam with 15 tons of medical supplies, including antibiotics, and are awaiting authorization to enter Myanmar.
To donate to AmeriCares, people can call 1-800-486-HELP or visit http://www.americares.org or follow us on our Twitter profile, AmeriCares.
Best regards,
Erin Skinner, on behalf of AmeriCares

Dear Supportive Christians:
Imagine if you had gone through the cyclone that hit our country
(Burma) during the very early hours of Saturday, May 3 … if you lost
your home and all your belongings … if you lost a person dear to you
in the cyclone …your mother or father, or perhaps a child or spouse.
The cyclone that hit Myanmar on last May 3,Saturday of the Nargis cyclone
reached 240 km/h (150 miles per hour) in the area of the Irrawaddy
River delta and the Yangon harbor.
In accord with the response of our government for international helps,
no doubt to say it is delayed already. We feel that this is the right
time for the Christian to stand and take up the responsibility, to
care and provide for the needy ones both physically and spiritually.
We are now ready to sacrifice to enter to the most affected areas
where no help have been taken yet. There will not be any contrast
between the governments. I am assured you that all of your
contributions/helps will definitely reach to the needy, so that they
will have life.
Please join us in praying for the precious survivors of Cyclone Nargis
who have suffered so much. As we do, let us pray not only for physical
provision to sustain the lives of those who have lost literally
everything, but also for the life-giving Gospel of Christ to penetrate
their hearts, providing comfort for this life and the life to come.
• Pray that these suffering men, women and children will be drawn to
Jesus to receive comfort and His free gift of eternal life.
• Pray that the Lord would use us in a powerful way as we try to reach
out in His name to the thousands upon thousands left homeless and
grieving over loved ones.
• Pray that God would provide for them and protect them, giving them
good health amid the rampant threat of water-borne disease. Especially
pray that we would show Christ’s love to those around them.
Our objective is to compel 1,000 people to take an action. Obviously, more would be better but we feel that 1,000 is a reasonable number to shoot for. If the average person or church that takes the challenge contributes only $10 each,this could potentially save literally hundreds of lives in Myanmar.
“What the urgently need to support them is Food, Water, Clothing and
Mosquito net materials for emergency shelter as well as financial
assistance.” The most urgent need is the “THE GOSPEL.”
Your teammate in reaching the needy,
Stephen Mang
