[ehudson@xxxxxxxxx]

Calling all Burmanet readers in Atlantic Canada!
(I hope there are some. . .)

=09Khin Ohmar has once again volunteered to come and speak on=20
campuses and in communities about Burma issues and grass-roots action=20
(see her post to B'net, below).  She'll likely be here in St. John's,=20
Newfoundland in early/late January/early February (no definite date set yet=
).
Since St. John's is a fair distance from Washington, we're seeing if=20
there are any other schools or groups in Atlantic Canada who would also=20
be interested in hosting her round about the same time. (Anyone in Halifax,=
=20
for example?)
=09Of course, I can't commit on Ohmar's behalf (I only bounced this=20
idea off her last week), but if you/anyone you know of is interested,=20
please contact me  (Ohmar's own address is also below).

Thanks.  Cheers,

Subject: Who needs a speaker on Burma?



Dear friends of Burma (USA),


Since last fall, I have been traveling and speaking on the Burma situation =
at
university, college, and high school campuses throughout the country to
increase people=92s awareness of what=92s going on in Burma and to gain sup=
port
at the grassroots level movement. Being a student activist and first-hand
witness of the 1988 uprising, I believe that sharing my experience is one o=
f
the best contributions that I can make to the free Burma movement, which is
now mobilizing not only in the US, but also internationally.=20

Most of the trips I took before were sponsored by Amnesty International
student chapters and local chapters. Now, schools are reopened for the fall=
,
and I am ready to restart my task for the 1996 school year. =20

Now I'd like to ask your help.  Could you please spread the word to the
people in your community that if their schools or groups would like to brin=
g
speaker on Burma, I am willing to speak?  I am accessible through the
following address.  I really appreciate your assistance on this matter.=20

Thanking you in advance.
