In pictures: Sketching Burma's cyclone


Monsoon rains

Backed by donations from individuals, the US-based foundation has been working in Burma since 1999.

It continues to help in the reconstruction effort, focusing on health and education.

Nargis left about 130,000 people dead and many more homeless.

“Looking at the drawings makes me incredibly sad. Every time the monsoon rains start coming down here, I start to cry because I know the conditions so many thousands are living in,” says one aid worker.
