Yangon- James Bond actor Daniel Craig will donate about 12,000 dollars to buy new boats for a group of fishermen in Irrawaddy delta that was ravaged by Cyclone Nargis in May, a local media report said Monday. Craig will donate four sea-going vessels and 21 smaller boats to fishermen in Ah-lai-thaung village of Pyin-kha-yaing town, Flower News weekly reported. 'His representative came to Myanmar and said he will pay for 25 fishing boats, and our committee brought the representative to that village," a member from the fishery rehabilitation committee told the publication. It will cost about 15 million kyats (about 12,345 dollars) for the fishing boats made locally, he said.
