Edinburgh's Day of Action for Burma Vigil

200 - 300 red clad people gathered at 3pm on Saturday 6 October 2007 at the tree for Aung San Suu Kyi in Princes Street Gardens. A lovely vigil with readings and chanting followed.

Lewis and Helena from Forthview read poems and a report on Forthview's links with Hle Bee School. Lewis, Helena, Ross and Bethany sold £291 worth of saffron ribbons to remember the monks and to raise funds for Hle Bee School. Well done to the 4 of you - what 'responsible citizens' you are!
Here is Lewis' new poem for Burma.

FOR BURMA
Be at peace in the love of your friends
U know you can trust them, their love has no ends
Remember this county, Let's shout its name
Myanmar, Thailand the soldiers made them tame
Always remember this last sacred name
BURMA

Another amazing poem from an 11 year old Scottish child. He is now offering to raise money for Hle Bee school by writing poems for others in Forthview school. For 20p he will write a poem for a first name, for 50p he will write a poem for a first and second name! Great thinking and a great way of using your talent, Lewis.

Just found an inspiring blog on YouTube with a Vietnamese video called The Wind of Change from Vietnam to Burma. Check it out on
