Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

An impression of the market in Bagan.
The turquoise color in the back is very typical for burma and you see it very often.
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.

If a visible chain or decorative wire for hanging is part of your over-all design and it can be collapsed
behind the mosaic for shipping, that is fine too.

Beyond Borders: Mosaic Auction for DWB/MSF
September 2012
Size: 6" x 6"
Tesserae: fused glass tile, fused glass flowers, mosaic leaves, Dichroic scarab, covered in resin
Statement:
I created this piece for Doctors Without Borders in bright colors to have broad appeal.
It was named for the tiniest part, an iridescent Scarab. This is meant to signify that even the most insignificant part of a whole is important. Even the poorest and most desolate people deserve to have hope and adequate medical care and basic necessities.
About me:
I am a self-taught artist, ever curious and eager to learn new arts. I have done stone masonry, concrete art, embroidery, quilting, crochet, crewel, bead weaving, bead embroidery, landscape design, mosaic and pottery. I come from a long line of folk artists.

Beyond Borders: Mosaic Auction for DWB/MSF
September 2012
Size: 6” x 6”
Tesserae: Marble, various stone, beads, rusty metal washer, gold smalti and a sea urchin spine.
About me:
Inspired by the mosaic coffee table my grandmother made in the
early ‘60’s, I have taught myself the art of mosaic and continue to learn while enjoying the creative process. I design decorative and functional mosaic art in my CT studio using a wide variety of materials such as glass, marble, stone, smalti, beads and recycled items to add a unique touch. My work has been exhibited throughout New England down to Charlotte, NC. I strive to have my mosaics add beauty to the home, garden or gallery in which they are displayed.

Some herders in Inwa.
We went late to Inwa to avoid any government fees and spend it more wisely.
After sitting in a taxi all day long we decided to walk. Some coachmen wanted to give us a ride, but we refused. Still hoping for some money, we got 2 horsecars following us for about 2 km until the monk who showed us around convinced them, that they won´t make lucky money.
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.

Size: 6" x 6"
Tesserae: Van Gogh glass, stained glass, agate, pendant tray, glass beads
About me:
Born and raised in California, I studied oil painting under the instruction of Marilyn Ball in central California, and art and photography classes at Taft College for several years. The journey to mosaic and stained glass began in 2002 by making stepping-stones. I quickly became addicted to mosaic and now make fun and beautiful art. Vintage windows and stained glass dragonflies are my specialties.

Beyond Borders: Mosaic Auction for DWB/MSF September 2012
Size: 6" x 6" framed
Tesserae: Stained glass and found porcelain on MDF and found framed mirror
Statement:
The idea behind my creating The Remedy was asking myself the question, "Where do we begin to help someone in need? What do we begin with?" My first thought was...the heart. We begin mending someone by reaching out a hand and showing someone, we see you, someone is listening...and you are worthy. The Remedy represents this idea that healing begins with the heart. I added the different colored stained glass around the heart to represent the colors of the world. My hope for this piece is the owner looks at it and is reminded from time to time of what The Remedy is and where it all begins.
About me:
I am a mom of three beautiful young women, self taught mosaic artist and SAMA member who recently relocated to Redlands, CA from the Midwest. I am happy to say I have found my passion in making my art and especially my mosaic art which has allowed me to explore so many possibilities and ways to express myself and how I see the world around me. It is a gift I so intend to share.
