Celeb group pledges $500,000 For Cyclone Victims

Not On Our Watch, the non-profit founded by Hollywood heavyweights GEORGE CLOONEY, DON CHEADLE, MATT DAMON and BRAD PITT, is providing $500,000 to victims of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar. 

The group will give $250,000 to Save the Children for relief efforts to suffering children and families following the cyclone that struck the country early this month, leaving tens of thousands dead and hundreds of thousands suffering.   

Not On Our Watch will also match with a $250,000 contribution of its own for the relief effort, which has been hampered by the Myanmar military government's reluctance to allow aid workers into the country.   

The celeb group says Save the Children is one of the only humanitarian organizations actually deployed in the country and has already helped more than 100,000 people, including about 40,000 young children.
