Some little kids in Kinpun that had quite some fun and were waving with their hand. As her mother was sitting next to them I could take this picture of those happy little ones.
The turquoise color of the building in the background is very typical for Burma and you see it everywhere.
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...

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.

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.

Cristiana, a surgeon who has been on several missions with MSF, was our tour guide, and after the tour I asked her to take help hold this card up. In retrospect, I could've tried a couple of different things, but they were close to being done for the day and I didn't want to impose any more.
It's a hole little larger than a quarter demonstrating how thin malnourished children can get. Some 4 year olds actually can place their arm through the hole. Unimaginable. At that point, they are simply skin and bone. God knows how they survive, but somehow in the midst of that sort of famine, women still manage to be fertile, and carry pregnancies to term.
We chatted a bit and she told me about how grateful some patients are - one man whose appendix she removed keeps calling her every couple of months to thank her.
She also told of the opposite reaction, especially in Somalia, which has a culture of taking easily-gotten medication for everything, even when you don't really need it. Pharmacists will prescribe all sorts of unnecessary things to pad out their income for the day, so people are used to getting expensive medicines, uncommon medicines, so sometimes when the doctors on the mission give out a simple painkiller for something they can't or don't need to treat, the mothers throw the pills back at them and curse them. !

Size: 6”x6” framed
Tesserae: Tempered Glass, Hand Painted Butterflies, Glitter
About me:
I have been enjoying doing mosaics for about 15 years now, I love working with the Pique Assiette style of mosaics incorporating broken china in my work. I also like using tempered glass over hand painted images, glitter and lace. Stained glass is a favorite medium of mine too, along with adding pearls, gems and jewels to my work.
I’m happiest when I have a mosaic project in progress, deciding on the design, color, and even what material to use can be a very rewarding challenge. With mosaics the idea’s and possibilities are endless; I will as an artist always strive to reach beyond my boundaries.

I took this photo on Thursday to check my workflow.

24 Hours Photography for Children in Conflict Zones.
Secure donations on the project page.
From midnight on Friday until midnight on Saturday, we will be documenting the 24-hour project in St. Gallen together with other street photographers and encouraging people to donate to Médecins Sans Frontières.
This will be a challenge for everyone, no sleep, uncertain weather, ...
But that's nothing compared to what the children in the conflict zones have to endure. If this helps MSF to continue its life-saving work, it's worth it.
If you see us, say hello. If you like, we can take a photo.

This man stayed behind to protect what was left of the village. This is his story. We saw so few people on this trip that it was almost awkward to take his picture. He was in high spirits and cheerful. We offered him some supplies which he refused.
Donate to the Red Cross or preferably to MSF(Doctors Without Borders).

Our first sunset in Bagan - what should I say, breathtaking
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)

During the dry season we got a glimpse of what a monsoon probably looks like. While waiting for a local bus to arrive two hours late just in time, I took a series of vehicles passing by.
No photoshop has been applied. The motion blur is straight out of the camera.
