After an earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck Myanmar in March, killing more than 3,700
people and injuring many more, the Rotary Club of Yangon coordinated a relief effort both at
home and at the epicenter near Mandalay, about 400 miles away. The club gathered supplies
donated by its members, Mandalay Rotarians, and other Rotary clubs in neighboring countries,
notably the Rotary Club of Bangkok South in Thailand. In May, a District 3350 delegation to
Myanmar brought water purification systems, temporary shelters, and thousands of hot meals.
The district committed to providing long-term recovery assistance, including a tube well in Sein
Pan, a hard-hit ward in Mandalay. "The project reminded us that Rotary's strength lies not only in
delivering aid but in showing up together across borders with compassion and commitment," says
Thordur Adalsteinsson, a member of the Bangkok club that helped. "The partnership between our
club, Rotary Myanmar, and District 3350 brought tangible relief to those in urgent need, but even
more importantly, it brought hope and human connection in a time of crisis."
