The main aim of the program is to train political activists from Burma in human rights, democracy, international politics, and foreign affairs work so they can effectively promote the Burmese democracy movement and human rights within their communities and abroad.  In one of the classes we have asked one of the students to write a short essay on why is he doing this type of work and we would like to share it with you.
