MOW FOOD BANK - to reach COBEM & Mon Refugee Boarding School - 25 July 2012 at 3pm


Dear All,

Moving forward, Meals on Wheels (MOW) will also be serving as a food bank that delivers donated perishable and non-perishable items to charity homes and associations. We will be organising visits to underprivileged homes during festive season and special events from time to time too.  

On next Wednesday, 25 July 2012, MOW’s Food Bank will be delivering dry food items and necessities to Coalition of Burma Ethnics Malaysia (COBEM) and Mon Refugee Boarding School.

About COBEM
Over the past five to 10 years, community-based organisations representing the different ethnic nationalities from Myanmar have been formed to organise, assist, empower and protect their respective communities.


In recognition of the benefits for community-based operations in Malaysia through resource sharing and cooperation, the Coalition of Burma Ethnics Malaysia (COBEM) was formed in 2007 to respond to the needs of the ethnic refugees and migrant communities from Myanmar living in Malaysia. COBEM represents the Kachin, Karenni, Karen, Chin, Mon, Arakan and Shan ethnic communities who work closely together for the benefit of all their respective refugee communities.


Membership of the coalition includes the following community-


1.      Kachin Refugee Committee (KRC)

2.     Organisation of Karenni Development (OKD)

3.     Malaysia Karen Organisation (MKO)

4.     Chin Refugee Committee (CRC) together with Alliance for Chin refugees (ACR)

5.     Mon Refugee Organisation (MRO)

6.     Arakan Refugee Relief Committee (ARRC)
7.     Shan Refugee Organisation (SRO)
