Investing in the democratic future of Burma through its young people

AUNG SAN SUU KYI APPEALS FOR PROSPECT BURMA

Aung San Suu Kyi, human rights activist and leader of Burma's National League for Democracy, was detained in 1989 by the ruling military junta and kept under house arrest for most of the following 13 years, until her release in May this year. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1991.

She is an active supporter of Prospect Burma and appeals below for others to join her in supporting us.

The future of my country lies in the hands of the younger generation.

Under the present military government the whole educational system is neglected and higher education is virtually non-existent with the frequent closure and repressive control of the universities.

Prospect Burma is a non-political charity which does its best to fill the gap.

It funds scholarships for young Burmese, most of whom have been forced to look for their education abroad. It arranges training and educational courses in Thailand and elsewhere.

I warmly commend its work to you, and hope that you might be able to offer it financial help.
