One week before departing the U.S. for Yangon, we were forced to postpone the mission trip due to the Myanmar border being closed to foreigners due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have rescheduled our trip for early November, after the Monsoon season ends, and look forward to seeing our children and bringing our gifts of backpacks filled with school supplies and school uniforms to 800 children.
While we are very disappointed not to be able to provide our assistance yet to the kids, they know we are still coming!
The pandemic has certainly wreaked havoc on our fundraising. We have had to cancel 4 live fundraising events in NY, London, Napa Valley, California and Yangon, Myanmar! PFK is being nimble and creating online fundraisers to help boost our funds to fulfill our goal of serving 2,500 children in Myanmar, Indonesia and Thailand. We are determined to do what we can to help our children....13 years and going strong!
I look forward to sharing better news in the next report, until then, be well and stay healthy!
