Dear DARE Network Friends
It seems like a long while since we reported to you on our activities and well-being. But really it is a mere 4 months. During this time the war in Myanmar continues with the Military Junta losing ground in every State. The people’s revolution is succeeding on the ground. However, the Junta gains considerable air support from Russia and China in terms of jet fighters, attack helicopters ammunition and pilot training. The Junta uses these tools to continuously bomb Civilians in villages they have lost to the Resistance. These are War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. The trauma from these crimes will certainly see an increase in addiction issues down the line.
As we continue through the Monsoon season, climate change is taking its toll with unprecedented, simultaneous typhoons and crippling flooding throughout the region. The people displaced by the Military Coup in Myanmar, who have survived in the jungles are being swept away. These are difficult times for many.
All this to say, that DARE Network is stalled in our goal to become the premiere Addiction Services provider to Myanmar. However, our teams in the refugee camps, Migrant Worker area and inside Karen State, in a safe area, continue to thrive with prevention education, treatment and training. It is in the interest of our over-reaching goals to keep our organization strong. When the worst is over, we will be well placed to implement our plans for Myanmar and people affected by this terrible war will be able to benefit from our services.
Thanks once again to all of you who help hold us up. You should be proud.
From all of us at DARE Network.
