Los Altos residents raised nearly $2,000 at a bake sale Saturday in front of the downtown Starbucks. The sale will benefit survivors of last week’s devastating cyclone in Myanmar.

Katie Jacobs Stanton organized the sale with resident Min Min, who was born in the former Burma. The baked goods, donated entirely by local residents, ranged from typical bake sale fare like cookies and cake to baklava and topfenstrudel.

Their employer, Internet search giant Google, had offered to match the $1,945 in proceeds, bringing the total to $3,890. Jacobs Stanton said 100 percent of the proceeds would go to UNICEF for cyclone relief efforts.

“This was an important event not only for the people of Burma, but also for our children here in Los Altos to help raise awareness of the world at-large, and to teach them that they can make a difference,” Jacobs Stanton said. Relief efforts for Myanmar have been slowed by the military government, which is resistant to outside intrusion.

Reports indicated nearly 1.5 million survivors were at risk from hunger or disease. Latest figures show an estimated 62,000 reported dead or missing from the May 3 storm.
