Subject: Petition for assistance<br />
1) Field number (402) and registered number (70), 750 acres of paddy farm, in Taychaung Village<br />
Tract of Kyaukphru Township, under a cooperative named the Praichaung Rural Development,<br />
is owned by 150 farmers with 816 family members working and dependent on the embankments<br />
in this vast land of paddy farms.<br />
2) The farmers from the villages of Konchaung, Marmgan farm the fields inside the embankments.<br />
There is no other work for these villagers apart from farming, but these embankments and paddy<br />
farms grown inside were all destroyed by <strong>Cyclone</strong> <strong>Giri</strong> on October 22, 2010.<br />
3) There are 19 small embankments within the main embankment of Praichaung Rural Development,<br />
and the lowest encircling embankment is 6,000 feet long. To repair all the small and main<br />
embankments damaged, it would cost over 20,000,000 Kyat.<br />
4) As the farmers are facing difficulties with a lack of rice store for an extended time, finance, and<br />
agricultural equipment, this petition for assistance is being sent in order to be able to repair the<br />
damaged embankments in time, through social welfare organisations. Additionally, the government<br />
is also being notified and we sent this petition in order to receive any necessary support from<br />
them in time.<br />
It is represented that this petition for assistance, is true and is accurate.<br />
