Do you remember 9/11? The Tsunami in 2004? Katrina?

Today we have another opportunity.
Make the most of yours.

From CNN.com:
One of the hardest-hit areas is Pyinzalu, a small town on the tip of the Irrawaddy delta, which has not fully recovered from the 2004 tsunami, according to World Vision health advisor Dr. Kyi Minn in Yangon.
Survivors from the delta villages described bodies along the road and floating in the rivers as they walked more than 100 kilometers to Yangon. That, Minn said, has had a significant mental impact on the survivors.
Yangon was pretty much back to normal, he said. Roads had been cleared of debris, and electricity and potable water were available.
World Vision, which has 500 aid workers in Myanmar, has provided aid in the country for more than 40 years. In a rare move, Myanmar’s junta specifically asked World Vision to help provide aid to cyclone survivors.
