Subject: [akha] Akha Journal: Urgent Request for survival this month!
Dear Friends:We are in Urgent Need of Donations at the time to survive the next weeks.If you can make a $50 or $100 or more donation at this time it will help cover our documentation work and basic survival. We keep working, never knowing where the funds are going to come from the next day, the next week, this has been the story of our lives with the Akha. Mostly we work long before we can explain how it is possible, or how we will do it, or how we will "go prepared". We live in the Akha community, we are not seperated from their needs.Faithful providence and donors have somehow kept us moving forward, always working, never too much time for dreams, cause there is a lot of work to be done. We fit our lives and needs between the spaces.We now step up our documentation work and soon hope to have good results for everyone to see. In corners of the earth, few know the story of what happens to the Akha there.Your donation can make all the difference for us at this time. Assitance to Akha families with medical problems and food shortages weighs heavily on us.From the six of us,Matthew McDanielThe Akha Heritage Foundation.

*July 7, 2004 New York Times article. "LETTER FROM ASIA; She Tilts Against Power, but Don't Call Her Quixotic." By Jane Perlez. Article quote: "Among those either killed, or missing and presumed dead, were campaigners against logging, dams and wastewater projects." Another article quote: "She reminded those audiences, she said, that more than 2,000 people suspected of breaking drug laws were killed during a three-month 'war on drugs' by the Thaksin government last year [2003], a move that prompted the State Department to criticize Thailand's 'worsened' human rights record."
