With the Myanmar military regime refusing the open its borders to humanitarian aid, it’s difficult to know how to help. This might be one way:

Avaaz is raising funds for the International Burmese Monks Organization, which will transmit funds directly to monasteries in affected areas.

In many of the worst-hit areas, the monasteries are the only source of shelter and food for Burma’s poorest people. They have been on the front lines of the aid effort since the storm struck. Other forms of aid could be delayed, diverted or manipulated by the Burmese government–but the monks are the most trusted and reliable institution in the country.

This sounds as if it might work, so if you want to help the people suffering the cyclone’s aftereffects, check out Avaaz.
