A powerful earthquake of 6.8 magnitude shook Myanmar on Wednesday, 24 August 2016, killing at least three people and damaging nearly 400 ancient Buddhist pagodas in the famed ancient city of Bagan.
SEAMEO SPAFA expresses its sympathy and concern for their losses.
The Centre plans on lending technical advice to assist in damage assessment to cultural heritage monuments.
You can help too!

Donations can be sent to SEAMEO SPAFA via money transfer or PayPal, and the collected donations will be given to the Department of Archaeology and National Museum under the Ministry of Culture, Myanmar.
