<p>This year I'm raising funds again to support the excellent work of Prospect Burma, which every year helps many Burmese take up opportunities to study outside Burma.</p> <p>In particular I'm also helping to raise funds for a Deaf student S'don Mwight, a bright aspiring scholar whose whose Deafness has barred him from all but the most basic educational opportunities in Burma.&nbsp; With funds from the Deaf Empowerment Foundation coupled with the support of you and Prospect Burma, S'don will be able to study on a programme for Deaf students at the Indira Gandhi National Open University in New Delhi.&nbsp; He will be the first Deaf student supported by Prospect Burma. You can watch his university application video from this page.</p> <p>S'don has taught me a great deal about the sign languages used in Burma and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to help him in return.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp; Please be generous when donating and spread the word to your friends.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.</p>
