New Zealand IRONMAN · 3 March 2012

Basic services in Myanmar/Burma collapsed following a coup in 2021. As the violence worsens, the suffering could last for decades. Prospect Burma tackles the long term crisis. We get young people into higher education abroad, to gain skills to build a safe, inclusive future for the country's people.

Story

<p>Please sponsor me! I'm back out of retirement and training for the New Zealand Ironman: 3.8km swim, a 180km bike ride and a marathon.<br /><br />I'm raising money for Prospect Burma (All money raised goes to the charity). Prospect Burma is a small charity that gives scholarships to gifted and needy students outside Burma, many of whom are refugees. All are committed to returning home to rebuild their country when the time comes. (www.prospectburma.org) <br /><br />If you would like more background read Pascal Khoo Thwe's From the Land of Green Ghosts, A Burmese Odyssey. <br /><br /></p>
