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 />
