Why I Participate

What lights my fire? The fire of oppression, the fire of over 3,300 villages burned to the ground in Burma, the fire that keeps burning with no extinguisher in sight. We should all light a candle in memory of all those lost because of the illegal army's aggression in Burma. Free Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and Free Burma!
