Hailed the “twin disasters” of 2008, the Cyclone Nargis of Myanmar and the Sichuan Earthquake of China have changed millions of lives forever.

World Vision Singapore responded to both disasters with the donations from its supporters. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, over $1,000,000 was raised to assist the victims of the Cyclone Nargis while some $243,000 was raised for those of the Sichuan Earthquake to aid in both the relief and rehabilitation efforts.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of both historic disasters, World Vision Singapore would like to invite you to attend a special presentation by our operations staff from Myanmar and China.

Get an up-close and behind-the-scenes look at how World Vision handled the challenges posed by a natural disaster of such monumental scale. Find out how your donations have not only helped countless lives survive the disaster, but how they have also helped those who were affected rebuild and recover from their loss.
