Benefit for Burma at YoMa restaurant
On Saturday from 12-4 p.m. the Burmese restaurant YoMa is holding a fund-raiser. Proceeds will go to help those affected by the recent cyclone that's devastated the owners' native land.
The minimum donation is $10 per person. There will be a buffet lunch, plus sales of clothing and Burmese souvenirs, says YoMa's Thawdar Kyaw, who is originally from Rangoon. (In an update on this Globe story by Maria Sacchetti, Kyaw reports that she was finally able to reach her family yesterday and they are safe, aside from a broken roof.) "We want to help our people of Burma," Kyaw says. "They need food, they need shelter."
YoMa is at 5 North Beacon St., Allston, 617-783-1372.
