A monk that we met showed us around in an old Monastry in Inwa.

 

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...

You could see those fondue places all around the city were you could buy various meat and stick it in some brown fat. Honestly, I was not brave enough to try this one. On one hand the meat was laying around at >30°C (>90°F) in the sun all day and most of it looked like various giblets. Of course he did not speak english :)

Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh: Limiting the Damage of a Protracted Crisis

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.

On our last full day in Burma we took the Circle Line that goes around Yangon. It is basically the life line of yangon enabling the people/farmers to bring there goods into the city. Even if we traveled around quite a lot in Burma it was still nice in the train. It was the slowest train I ever traveled and it took 3 hours for a few miles. In between the train was completely crowed with all different people.

 

What I realized in the train was that it is hard to draw a line between evil and good. We were placed next to the train guards, officially probably for our safety ;)

They had quite some fun and one of them even had his girlfriend next to him. Even if they belong to the bad government I believe they were no bad people. They are just trying to make some money for there living.

The fish always stinks from the head down. The head has to be cut!

MSF does art therapy with the children and this picture was drawn by an actual young child who has grown up with the horrors of guerilla warfare in Colombia.

 

My children draw butterflies, flowers, and rainbows. This child draws people being executed, complete with a boat full of bodies passing by.

 

It's a sad, sick world sometimes. This part of the camp (there were six drawings from Colombia) made me have to stop and compose myself so I wouldn't start sobbing.

When I took those pictures I was sick, which might be a reason that they did not turn as hoped.

It was quite windy and many parts were moving above me when I walked around and especially in the houses.

 

When I came back from a really short trip I measured my temperature again and it had gone up above Malaria alarm limit and prepared myself for taking the emergency kit and traveling 7 hours to the next (reasonable) hospital already.

Fortunately the fever was lower in the next morning. Trust me, I was very happy!

Hi all,

The Press Release promoting the DWB/MSF Online Auction is ready. I’ve been informed by my esteemed editor, Fresca De Lorme, that the release can indeed be emailed with attachments as opposed to snail mailed with CD to your desired publications. This makes things much easier!

 

Please send me an email at Lin@LinSchorr.com that you need a release and I will attach your release in Microsoft Word format and a photo of your artwork along with the MSF logo. You will need to replace the “RED” type in the release with “BLACK” using your personal information. The release should go out fairly soon as most, but not all, publications require an 8 to 9 week lead time.

 

*Remember to also attach a high resolution photo of yourself, 300dpi, along with your release if possible :)*

 

Thanks,

Lin

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...
