BURMA
Free Burma -
www.burmacampaign.org.uk /
www.freeburmacoalition.org
Burma, a country of 47 million people is ruled by fear. A military machine
of 400,000 soldiers denies a whole nation its most basic rights. Aung San
Suu Kyi, pro-democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate, symbolises the
struggle of Burma's people to be free. Aung San Suu Kyi's Party, the
National League for Democracy (NLD) won 82% of the seats in the 1990
election. The people of Burma overwhelmingly rejected military rule yet
the military continues to refuse to transfer power to Burma's
democratically elected leaders. Aung San Suu Kyi' has spent six years
under house arrest, her movements are severely restricted, her phone
frequently cut and she is prevented from seeing her family. Hundreds of
her supporters are detained, many suffering torture and in some cases
death. Her message is a simple one - that only by fighting fear can you
truly be free - a message Burma's military fears and aims to silence. The
song Walk On, on U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind, is dedicated to
Aung San Suu Kyi.

Sources
of Strength: Meditations on Scripture for a Living Faith
For
Jimmy Carter, Holy Scripture has been a constant companion, a
source of inspiration and strength in both good times and bad. A
lifetime of devoted Bible reading has taught him that the truths
of Scripture have the power to enrich and transform our daily
lives in unexpected ways. Sources of Strength is his invitation to
share in the spiritual bounty of Scripture and the joyous, more
fulfilling life that a living faith makes possible.

Children and Their Rights "The time
has come for humankind to accept the traditional philosophy of the native
Americans: we do not inherit this planet from our parents, we are
borrowing it from our children" - Mikhail Gorbachev.
The children of the world are the future leaders,
administrators, teachers. We should educate them for their place in the
global community. They have rights - to care, food, education,
