Change for Burma

Description: 

This is your chance to help bring long-lasting change to Burma! Burma is one of the poorest countries in the world. It is ruled by one of the world?s most brutal regimes, guilty of every possible human rights violation. It has one of the worst records of religious persecution in the world. Let us paint you a picture of the desperate situation ... * Over 2,000 political prisoners are in jail subjected to terrible torture. * Over 70,000 child soldiers have been forcibly conscripted into the army. * Over 3,200 villages in Burma in Eastern Burma have been destroyed since 1996. * Over 2.5 million people are suffering as a result of the cyclone and the regime?s obstruction of aid. * Over 1 million people are displaced in the jungle. You have the chance to help us paint a different future for Burma. Change for Burma! is an exciting new joint campaign by Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) and Partners Relief and Development UK. Our aim is to bring long-lasting change to Burma and to see the international community take action on behalf of those suffering in Burma. We want to see freedom and justice restored to the people of Burma. Joining us and taking action today will help us raise awareness of the issues and lobby the UK government, United Nations and international community to take concrete action to bring change to Burma. You can be part of the change today ? here?s how to get involved ...
