Yes

Hey all


I know some of you might have heard about me trying to raise awareness for the refugee crisis in Myanmar and Laos. But I realised alot of you dont know just what is going on, or what im trying to do. And I also realised how stupid I was, having this blog, and not making use of its publicity potential. So



ANYWAYS... this is what you NEED to know on the situation.



WHAT
just a little north of Malaysia, there is a forgotten group of people who are being persecuted, "hunted down" and killed within Southeast Asia. These are the refugees of Myanmar and Laos . You probably haven't heard of them despite living so near them in Singapore, and this is why we are working to spread the word about this group of people.



HOW you can help
We would like to ask you for 10 minutes of your time, to:



1. Visit this site ( www.refugeesg.wordpress.com) and watch 2 videos that will show what is going on there
2. After that, you can sign the petition to ask for this to be stopped- why this has gone on for so long is because of citizens in neighbouring countries ( e.g. us) not doing much to condemn this persecution
3. Then, please forward this email to all your yahoogroups and contacts!




WHY sign the petition?
every name that we put on this petition can go a long way in putting a stop to this. Please try to raise awareness for this in any way you can- we are not a NGO or anything of that sort, just a bunch of youth who have learnt of this and must do something about it. We cant guarantee anything. But we cant let that stop us from trying.



If you can, please blog about this issue or put the address of the website in your MSN nick to tell your friends about these people!
Thanks for reading this!
