[OPIRG-EVENTS] A funding and supply drive for the Shan!!
Remember the successful Pepsi Boycott of 1997?
While Pepsi may be out of Burma...
Slave Labour Isn't
Ethnic Cleansing Isn't
Terror from a Brutal Military Regime
Is not !!
The Shan Women's Action Network - SWAN, was set up on March 28, 1999 by
Shan Women living in Thailand along the Thai/Burma border. A Shan woman,
representing SWAN, visited Carleton University this summer and spoke of
the hope they had for women and their children fleeing the oppression in
Burma.
SWAN engages in training programs for women as well as basic education
for children. They hope to build a daycare this year and have asked for
our help!
Please support their struggle with donations of women's clothing/shoes
and children's toys, books, shoes, clothing, craft and school supplies.
A TWOONIE drive is also being carried out to raise funds for the
proposed daycare.
Kick off a week of fundraising and supply drive on...
