We had a splendid evening of Scottish Dance with many kilties, of Burmese food but only one longyi (well done Mary Ryan Gillespie!) on Friday night. Around 80 folk of all ages danced away and listened to stories from the Thai Burma border. We were a richly diverse group of folk, who had not met together before and that made for a really interesting and enjoyable evening.
Thank you to St James Church for use of their building, which was looking lovely. Thank you to all the Burmese and Scottish people who cooked such delicious food (apart from Sheila's mashed potato!). Thank you to everyone who bid so generously in Murray's auction of Burmese handcrafts.
Thanks to you all, we raised £713 for Hle Bee School.
Jesu Chin Barry!

Great to read so much good news from Scotland. Well done to all of you. Just back from a delicious Burmese meal with some friends here in Chiang Mai Thailand. The meal was cooked by one of Kyaw Wyn's students! I gave them news of all your events in Scotland.
