While Relief.Asia is being setup as a platform to drive donation and awarness for people in Myanmar (Burma) after Cyclone Nargis, we also know that rescue work can't wait.

So here's a little idea that gets us started. (update: you can also join our facebook group )

After a week of coordination and consense building in the Internet community in Asia, along with timely support from Mandarin Airlines and Museum of World Religions , on the early morning of May 16th, 2008, Relief.Asia will deliver a number of EeePC to Myanmar to support a local NGO Myanmar Egress. Thanks to intERLab of Asian Institue of Technology and APNIC for making this happened. We start with a number of units first, and are committing to support / donate more when needed. 

By deploying mobile / portable device like EeePC we believe this could help increase the effectiveness of information sharing and job coordination among relief workers in natural disaster like this.

Wish us luck, and here's a short "please help" video clip to describe the plan. Will keep posting about how the EeePC is deployed in the field.
