On Sat 13th Oct 21012 I will be DANCING A MARATHON. Yes you read that right, I shall be dancing every step of 26.2 miles and I need your financial support to spur me on in this challenge. Not only will I need to get fit enough to do this, I will also have to really prove my love of dance by overcoming my slight embarrassment of dancing through the streets and work out how you dance in a continous forward motion….so it’s quite a challenge WHY YOU MAY ASK  I often agonise about what little ole me can do to make a difference in this world and can often get frozen into doing nothing. Learn Burma has inspired me to just do something. What I love about this charity is that through the inspirational work it does in schools and through events such as this it says... The people in Burma do not have their freedom. We have the freedom to do anything we want to do.  LET’S CELEBRATE THAT FREEDOM AND DO SOMETHING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. So as well as raising awareness of the situation in Burma that will help make a differece to the people there, at the same time we are we are inspiring a generaton of change makers to use the freedom they have to make a difference.  Recognising how free and lucky we are has inspired me to do something, so once you’ve sponsored me…what are you going to do with your freedom? WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES LearnBurma is working with  four other exceptional organisations  for a better Burma, Dance Britain comes at a crucial time, as the possibility of change looks more and more likely within the country, and the need for continued pressure and support is greater than ever.  <span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; background: yellow; color: black; mso-highlight: yellow; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">INSPIRING YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE UK LearnBurma works to support schools in Burma by connecting them to schools here, and uses campaigns such as Dance Britain to bring the country alive to thousands in the UK DEVELOPMENT & DEMOCRACY  The Burma Campaign UK is the pre-eminent campaigning organisation dedicated to the fight for democracy, human rights and development in Burma.  Staffed by many exiles from Burma, their work will continue until every political prisoner is free and Burma has a stable, sustainable democracy working for the benefit of its people.  HUMAN RIGHTS  Amnesty International has been campaigning for years to bring human rights to Burma, and to support the rights of specific individuals denied their everyday freedoms and dignity.  SCHOLARSHIPS  Prospect Burma is dedicated to educating the next generation of Burma’s leaders – and does so by providing scholarships and access to high quality higher education for many promising students each year.  IMMEDIATE RELIEF  Partner’s Relief and Development support essential, urgent relief work on Burma’s borders, successfully helping medical care reach those most in need, caring for children of conflict and providing long-term solutions for local communities.
