FIFTH INSTALLMENT
THE BURMA ACTION DIRECTORY (BAD)
PART II
GEOGRAPHIC LIST
This list is intended to enable people providing and seeking
information on Burma to link up. It does not try to cover the
whole of the Burma support community or the organisations
interested in Burma. Many of the groups and individuals have
specialized interests and information which may be mentioned
where not obvious from their titles. The list is in two parts:
thematic and geographic. There is much overlap. Please send
corrections and additions to the Burma Peace Foundation. The list
is particularly weak on media, academics and governments. We
could perhaps have a BAD UPDATE from time to time on
soc.cult.burma etc.
