The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the United Parcel Service, and Atlanta-ba
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the United Parcel Service, and Atlanta-based CARE International shipped 142,000 pounds of medical and other supplies to Myanmar yesterday, to aid those affected by a recent cyclone.
The Church provided the supplies, UPS provided the transportation and CARE International will oversee distribution in Myanmar. The relief effort was made possible by leaders of CARE International who have established relationships with Myanmar officials. CARE is one of the few agencies the local government has allowed in the country according to Garry Flake, LDS Humanitarian Emergency Response director. "The shipment includes items such as sterile gloves, stethoscopes, braces, splints, syringes, needles and alcohol pads," said Flake. "Anything found in an emergency room." In addition, 13,000 first-aid kits assembled by missionaries at the Provo, Utah, Missionary Training Center last November were also included in the supplies, as well as hygiene kits, tarps, plastic sheeting and blankets. The Church also provided additional funding more than a week ago for immediate purchases.
Flake praised UPS leaders for their generous donation of the use of an MD-11 cargo jet, fuel, pilots and ground support in transporting the goods to Myanmar. "This kind of commitment on the part of UPS speaks volumes about its leaders and their vision of how we can work together to make the world a better place," said Flake.
UPS will deploy a supply chain expert to Thailand to coordinate with the United Nations' logistics emergency teams already there to ensure that supplies are delivered to those in need. UPS employees will also assist CARE International's operation in Thailand by assembling the supplies into packages that can be distributed directly to families.
"When you are putting together this kind of shipment, you are taking that which is relevant and that which will get to the end of the line," Flake said.

Elder Quentin L. Cook, an Apostle for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, appealed to news media today to make a clear distinction in their reports between the Church and the polygamist sect in Texas which has made headlines throughout the world.
He praised news media that are making this distinction but expressed concerns about others who are perpetuating mistruths about the Church, whose members are commonly referred to as Mormons.
Elder Cook said it is very confusing to the public when some media use "Mormon" to describe the Texas-based polygamous group which is currently under investigation for possibly incidents of child abuse. He reiterated that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with over 13 million members worldwide, is not connected in any way to small sects that practice polygamy.
Drawing contrasts between the Church and polygamists, Elder Cook said, Church members do not live in isolated compounds, arrange marriages, dress in old fashioned clothing or wear unique hairstyles.
Rather, they are contributing members of the communities in which they live throughout the world, get married at the average age of 23, and are well educated. In fact, 60% of Church members in the United States have some college education, which is 10% above the national average.
