Hi All,

So much is happennig at the moment and we need your support. Thanks for all the people who came to the film day yesterday. It was a great success. Here are a few things you can do.

Host a movie night to raise funds
If you would like to host the award winning film Burma VJ please let us know and we can provide you with a CD for your friends, school, church, union or for the public. We can also provide a computer, data projector and screen. A wonderful and moving accout of the September Monks protests. You can charge as little or as much as you like.

Are you going to Thailand?
Many Australians visit Thailand for holidays. If you are going we could use your help to volunteer in a school on the Thai Burma/Boarder or in an activist group using yuor skills in accounting, internet, report writing etc.

If you are just going on a holiday you might be able to take a few extra kgs to carrry pencils, books, laptops and other items to Bangkok to support schools and activists in Thailand/Burma. We can get them from BKK to Burma.
