Knoxville has been flooded with Burmese refugees due to the upheaval taking place in that country. Our school sends students to help them adjust to their new lives here. This is the first time most of them have seen a stove, indoor plumbing, a refrigerator, etc. so they all lack the life skills required to live in such a living situation. JBC students teach them the necessary skills to live each day as well, such as grocery shopping, paying bills, etc. We're also teaching them English so that they can communicate better. There are just so many people suffering in the world. I'm glad Invisible Children is working hard to open our nation's and the world's eyes to these pockets of people that no one would hear about otherwise.

The people of Burma are a constant source of inspiration to me in their patient yet impassioned fight for freedom and democracy. I wish more people and nations would rally to support their little publicized struggle. The hope is that soon they will no longer be left unheard or unseen. Blessings in the future, and condolences on your loss. My prayers go out to the family of the Secretary General and all those mourning his death.
