On October 29th, Moe Bu will jump from a plane over two miles up to raise funds for Burma Campaign UK. Here is a message from Moe, courtesy of the Burma Campaign UK:

Dear friend
 
My name is Moe Bu and I am a Karenni refugee and a student nurse in the UK. On Saturday 29th October I am jumping from over 2 miles up in the air from a plane to raise funds for Burma Campaign UK.
 
I am doing it in memory of my mother, for my family and to stop the killing in Eastern Burma.

When I was 10 years old Burmese soldiers came to my village and forced us from our village. In the relocation camp, we were not allowed to go out to find food or work. We lived in this camp for over a year before returning home.  
 
After further attacks I fled to a refugee camp in Thailand with 20 other girls. It took us nearly 3 months to walk through the jungle. We walked in the river at night most of the time to escape the soldiers and because the Burmese Army had planted landmines.
 
 One day I hope to return to Burma, and help my people with the skills I am learning. But my people are still under attack from the Burmese Army every day.
 
I face the possibility of never being able to live in my own country. I am determined not to let this happen. I know that together, we can change things if we can put enough pressure on the generals, but I need your help. Please support our campaign - please sponsor me.

Thank you,
 
Moe Bu
