Letter: Delta Fund

Is it possible if we can spend about Ks.25 lakhs ($2500CAN) for next trip? Please we want to give more. Not enough food to give.
Last trip, we delivered Rice 20 bags. And added 20 more bags of rice once we realized how much needed. Then we had enough to deliver to 4 villages.

The neediest things are;
FOOD: Rice, Water, Salt and Oil.
Even for meat/protein, they can make fishing as their custom!
Our estimation for about 400 families/I hope at least 800 peoples will be able to eat the rice for 5 days!

  1. Rice -50 bags -~Ks.950000.00 ($864CAN)
    50 bags of rice @24cups = 1200cups
    So 3 cups per family to 400 families can be delivered
  2. Water -400 bottles -~Ks.120000.00 ($109CAN)
  3. Oil 1/4 viss bottles -1200Ks@400 = Ks.480000.00 ($436CAN)
  4. Salt packs – local Iodinized salt packs
    ~450@400 = Ks.180000.00 ($163CAN)
  5. Candles (8pcs-packs@400@Ks.450) =Ks.180000.00 ($163CAN)
  6. Canned Fish-370Ks.@800 = Ks.296000.00 ($269CAN)

We will buy the rice and water at in the nearest town to our destination and others necessities in Yangon.
Estimated travel expenses ~Ks.350000 ($318can)

We estimated the minimum TOTAL to be = Ks. 2,376,000 ($2160CAN)

We should add more, we can add some clothes to donate…
