| Include
3000 Villages in Eastern Burma in Your
Holidays |
| Help
Raise Awareness and Funds to End the Attacks
in Eastern Burma |
|
For the first time
ever, we are asking people to respond
to Burma's growing humanitarian crisis
over the holidays by speaking about the
situation in Eastern Burma at holiday
events and by holding "3000 Villages"
holiday parties.
We've made a number of tools to make this
easy for you: download a PowerPoint presentation
with accompanying narrative to show your
friends and family at holiday functions,
and hand out the Eastern Burma info sheet
you can download here. Then, ask everyone
to sign an electronic petition to United
Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan calling
on him to urge action at the United Nations
Security Council on Burma.
Share your holiday spirits with the people
of Burma, and the compassion you have
for the people of Burma with your friends
and family. 'Tis the season to share love
and blessings, and shed light where we
can. And in Burma, we can.
Let us know you're including Eastern
Burma in your holidays!

How
to Include Eastern Burma in Your Holidays,
or host a "3000+ Villages" Holiday
Party: |
1) |
|
Download
our Eastern Burma slideshow. While
awareness is growing around the world
about the destruction of over 3000 villages
in Eastern Burma and the Burmese dictatorship's
terrible violence against its own people,
there are still many people who have never
heard of Burma and the struggles of Burma's
55 million people. It is imperative that
we all do our part in raising awareness
of what's going on in Eastern Burma.
We have produced materials and tools that
will help you educate others about what
is happening in Eastern Burma. If you're
not able to do a PowerPoint presentation
at your holiday function, you can read
from the narrative, or speak off-the-cuff.
