When we arrived we were surprised by big arrangements the Taung Htit villagers and fishermen had made for our coming. The Hong Kong based and in Myanmar operating Wallem Shipping Group had again donated a big amount of money to ease the life of the people at the Irrawaddy Delta in Myanmar.

On a request of Myanmar Chefs Association, Mr Jakob Voigt was happy to bring again good news to the MCA Office, funds for 23 fishing boats with fishing nets the Wallem Shipping Group Hong Kong had given.

First time end of 2008 when Wallem Shipping Group Hong Kong had arranged rive rations for two weeks to the whole village of Taungyi.

We like to thank Wallem Shipping Group H.K. for their continuous patronage and strong support to the fisher families of the Myanmar Delta.

After the dance ceremony of traditional Karen dance by all village boys and girls, our guest, friend and tourist Mr Rainhard Michalik handed over some presents to all dancers.

Mrs Elke and son Julian also donated on that day 2 fishing boats with fishing nets, so a total of 25 boats could support many more families one boat supports indirect more than 4 families.

Mrs Khin Khet Khet Khiang from Myanmar Chefs Association handed officially the boats from Wallem Shipping Hongkong over to all fishermen.

MCA is till ongoing with a wider campaign – Buy a Boat in Myanmar, for only US$280 a fishing boat is built, and transferred to the fishing families, all boats of MCA are built in the Myanmar Delta so creating urgent needed jobs for the people there.

The Myanmar Chefs Association reached now already over 200 fishing boats, with our partners, LOG – Germany, MHW, BWA, Action Myanmar e.V., WACS, Hilfe Direct – Dr Abraham Reisen, and many many single donor.

Another 200 boats is our goal until end of 2009.

New initiative by MCA: Donate live fish to the Delta Rivers, only 50 Euro cost the donation of 1000 life young fish.

The first 10,000 fish are donated by Myanmar Chefs Association, for any donation of 5000 live fish MCA organizes your company or association own free fish donation at the Delta. Donate fish and life is a very best activity in Buddhism means.
