ISMSP - Fundraising for Myanmar People in Conflict Zones
Since the military coup on the 1st of February in Myanmar, ISMSP (International Society of Myanmar Scholars and Professionals) have been working hard to raise funds to provide assistance to the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) workers and spearheading remote health care projects. Even before the coup, schools were shut down and the economy was already suffering due to COVID-19 but since the coup all learning have stopped, futures have been put on hold for the youth across Myanmar and international businesses have moved out of the country. With my presentation I would like raise awareness on what’s happening in Myanmar, why it matters, the projects run by ISMSP, and ways for the international community to support the people of Myanmar.
The presenter will not appear on video and the presentation will not be recorded. Thanks for understanding.
