I didn't know they had the highest number of child soldiers in the world. Truly. It's amazing how much we know, and how little we also know at the same time.
I'm not pretending to be an expert on world affairs, this is a space and a forum where we can learn such things.
The goal of BuildBurma.org is to encourage dialogue between artists, politicians, construction workers, students, everyone from around the world who want to discuss such issues, using the current devastation in Myanmar as the discussion platform.

I think it's time people start doing something about what is going on around them. Everyone is always complaining about how there is so much injustice in the world and how nothing is done about it, but thats it, and it ends there. It's great that BuildBurma.org has taken the initiative to make a change.
