QUOTES

There are several million refugees hiding in Thailand and Bangladesh, "and another five million or so are displaced inside Burma, which is now called Myanmar by the military regime. I am connected to the Shan people of Burma. I’ve lived with them and lost my heart there. How can I not help them? Someone has to help them.

“Regimes like the one in Burma can’t last forever. As long as there are people who desire something better, then there is always a chance for change.”
