Burmese Benefit Dinner in Japan

Burmese Benefit Dinner
Sunday, May 23,1999
3 PM

Kyoto Coop Shimogamo Center 2F
37 Takagicho, Shimogamo,=20
Sakyoku, Kyoto, Japan

Cost: 6,000 yen=20
(4000 yen for seniors over 60,
3000 yen for children under 12)

11AM  3 PM
Refugee Bazaar
Admission Free!
Many unusual and exotic handmade gifts from Thailand, Burma, and refugee
camps along the border

This gala event will include a fullcourse dinner of delicious and authentic
Burmese dishes, classical Burmese music, traditional cultural performances,
and a spirited auction of Burmese arts and other choice items.  All
proceeds will benefit Burmese students and refugees on Burma's borders.

This is the ninth anniversary of the 1990 elections in Burma, won
overwhelmingly by the National League for Democracy, but nullified by the
military junta. Again this year, Burmese Relief Center Japan is
commemorating the elections with a call for the restoration of democracy in
the country, under the leadership of the winner of those elections, Nobel
Peace Prize Laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Burmese military is carrying out vicious campaigns of ethnic cleansing
against the Shan, Karen, Mon, and Karenni ethnic minorities.  Escape to
Thailand has become increasingly difficult, and there are informed
estimates of over a million displaced people inside Burma, in addition to
the more than 150,000 refugees and students on the ThaiBurma border, with
harsh conditions expected to deteriorate even further.  Most Burmese
refugees suffer from malaria and face acute shortages of food, clothing,
blankets, shelter, and medicine.  Last year BRCJ provided more than three
million yen in relief supplies, but this year the needs are much greater.

Join us for a delicious dinner!
