Cholera patients are treated on the ground at the main hospital in Beitbridge, Zimbabwe, which was overwhelmed with patients.
The outbreak has reached many provinces of the country and is greatest in the capital, Harare, and its suburbs, where MSF has set up two cholera treatment centers at the Infectious Disease Hospital and at Budiriro Polyclinic. To date, MSF has treated about 4,000 patients in Harare and 1,300 in the Mudzi district at the border with Mozambique.

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

An Impression from Bagan
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.

Beyond Borders: Mosaic Auction for DWB/MSF
September 2012
Artist: Heather Vollans
Title: 'DWB: They Only See My Heart'
Size: 6" x 6" framed
Tesserae: Rusty metal, smalti, copper wire
About Heather:
Heather’s passion for mosaic is producing art from discarded materials. As a child she collected frivolous and useless things – or so others said. This collecting exercise is one Heather has not outgrown: collections now include textural plastics, wood, tire rubber, asphalt, building materials- aluminum, ceramics, stone, copper, interesting metals – in fact anything which appeals for its texture, color, shape etc. and that can be given new life as a mosaic.

50.000 Dkr. to Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from Willy Søvndal, head of the Socialist People’s Party (SF), and his daughter Anna. The two recently won the amount on channel TV2. Søren Brix Christensen, chairman of MSF Denmark is the thankful receiver.
If I could decide I would do this group portrait out on the street. The MSF building is an old and beautiful place that would make for a nice bagground, but the office told me to do it inside with an office bagground.

On our last full day in Burma we took the Circle Line that goes around Yangon. It is basically the life line of yangon enabling the people/farmers to bring there goods into the city. Even if we traveled around quite a lot in Burma it was still nice in the train. It was the slowest train I ever traveled and it took 3 hours for a few miles. In between the train was completely crowed with all different people.
What I realized in the train was that it is hard to draw a line between evil and good. We were placed next to the train guards, officially probably for our safety ;)
They had quite some fun and one of them even had his girlfriend next to him. Even if they belong to the bad government I believe they were no bad people. They are just trying to make some money for there living.
The fish always stinks from the head down. The head has to be cut!

I finally got the donation Laura and I had promised to Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF), Just learned the MSF had reached the limit of the matching grant. Our modest donation should still be useful though.
(We've been donors to MSF for a while, but we've been particularly impressed and moved by the frontline care MSF people have bravely offered those afflicted by ebola.)
On 1 November, Anthony Banbury, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), Marcel Rudasingwa, UN Ebola Crisis Manager in Guinea, and Bruce Aylward, WHO Assistant Director-General for Polio and Emergencies, visit Macenta, Guinea, where the Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) operate a Ebola Transit Centre.

An exhibit featuring photographs and illustrations from the graphic novel THE PHOTOGRAPHER by Didier Lefevre, Emmanuel Guibert, and Frederic Lemercier, which The Boston-Globe praises as "An inspiring, beautiful book ... The Photographer should be mandatory reading for our secretary of State and president."
SHOW DATES: April 23-May 19
Mon-Friday: 10AM-6PM
Sat-Sunday: 12PM-6PM
OPENING RECEPTION: April 23 - 6PM
In 1986, photojournalist Didier Lefevre documented one of the clandestine cross-border humanitarian missions undertaken by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to assist Afghans trapped in areas hardest-hit by the Soviet invasion. Dodging Soviet aircraft and navigating treacherous terrain, Lefevre's journey nearly cost him his life. He collaborated with aclaimed illustrator Emmanuel Guibert and graphic designer Frederic Lemercier to bring this story to life in THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
This exhibit offers a taste of the book that combines the late Lefevre's dramatic images and Guibert's stunning artwork to bear witness to the hardships endured by the Afghan people throughout this conflict—and to the present day.

Ebola fears drove New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to forcibly quarantined a nurse returning from volunteer work in Africa, despite opposition from the CDC, her complete lack of symptoms, and the presumption that she enjoyed civil rights as a U.S. citizen.

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.
