Club Rangoon Launches Breathe For Burma Appeal
Hit by twin misfortunes of a military coup and a worsening third wave of Covid, Myanmar's plight has been intensifying as a fractured medical infrastructure struggles to deal with a shortage of oxygen and hospital beds. In a bid to alleviate the crisis developing in Myanmar, Burmese restaurant Club Rangoon is appealing to diners to participate in its Breathe for Burma fundraising campaign, held in partnership with the Burmese Chinese Medical Centre (BCMC).
Every Tuesday, the restaurant will be donating 30 percent of its profits for the day to a fundraiser on Give.asia, with the goal of raising HK$200,000, or enough for BCMC to purchase 200 40-litre oxygen tanks to distribute to those in need in Myanmar. One 40-litre tank is capable of sustaining a patient with severe Covid symptoms for 4-5 hours, or up to one day for those with mild symptoms. Donate to the cause now by clicking here.
