Hello Everyone,

As you know teashops are located all over Myanmar (Burma) - they are
small road- or alley-side restaurants where the local people come
regularly for daily sweet tea, snacks, and sometimes to watch the
Premier League matches. Also, they are the central points where
diverse sociopolitical debates and issues are conversed, and various
movements and uprisings were born - particularly the legendary 8888
nationwide uprising. Sadly, these teashops are staffed with children
who are forced to work very long hours (up to 15 hours) every day to
sustain their families. These children are not supposed to be working;
they should be enjoying their childhood lives at school!

Now you can support these children compelled into indentured servitude
get free schooling thru our innovative project—the very first of its
kind in Myanmar (Burma)! myME: Myanmar Mobile Education project
provides 2 hours of engaging education and one nutritious meal per day
to children who are forced to work long hours 7 days per week.

This is a unique and vital project with enormous impact. It’s led by a
small volunteer team based in NYC and in Myanmar. All that’s needed is
the help of compassionate and generous supporters like you! Please
consider donating to our Indiegogo campaign (http://bit.ly/1b7vOc8) to
get this project off the ground. No amount is too small.

Please also help spread the word by either sharing this email, or
clicking the “Like”, “Tweet”, “Embed” or “Email” button on the
campaign page to share it with your friends.

Thanks for all your support and contribution!

Sincerely,
~Tim
