Cyclone Nargis, which struck Burma on 2 May, has claimed the lives of over 22,000 people and left up to one million people homeless. The situation is desperate and people are in urgent need of shelter, food and clean drinking water.

Y Care International has launched an emergency appeal to raise money for its partner, ACT International and partner YMCAs in the region, to provide vital support to the most vulnerable people.

For more information or to make a donation for this appeal visit the Y-Care International website: http://www.ycareinternational.org/?lid=1428
