10/01

  • We are back from the sumer break and a lot has happened/is happening.
  • I'm sure most of you have seen the news reports about the protests in Burma. Some KnRF members joined a campaign for Burma in Umeda yesterday to show our support. Some pictures can be seen here. Some handed out fliers while others passed around a microphone. The media was there, both TV and print. I think it's very important that we don't forget about the atrocities going on in Burma after the news reports fade away.
