Help get video equipment into Burma

Friends—
Making sure that the world can witness what is going on within Burma is one of the only means we have of keeping the activities of the government under check and bring power back into the hands of the Burmese people. There is a dire need to get video equipment and transmission equipment back into the country and into the hands of democracy activists so that the world can once again bring its attention to the needs of the people of Burma.

We are now in the process of purchasing a large number of “flip video” cameras which are very discrete, AA battery operated, tape-less cameras whose data can be uploaded directly to a computer and then sent by satellite phone out to the world. The cameras are only about $100 apiece and we need your help to purchase them and the more expensive transmission equipment needed to get the video out of the country.

Many people have already pledged their resources toward this endeavor. Please join them quickly so that we can re-open the window on Burma and hold the regime accountable for its actions. The easiest and quickest way to support this is to make an online contribution on our website http://www.stonecircles.org. Click on the “donate now” button and then be sure to check “yes” where it asks if this donation is designated for Burmese video equipment.

Checks can be made payable to “stone circles” with “Burmese video project” in the memo line. Send them to:

The Stone House stone circles/attn: Burma 6602 Nick’s Rd. Mebane , NC 27302

Thanks for your support.

In peace and solidarity,
Jesse
