Shining Moon, an ethnic Karen Free Burma Ranger team leader, died last night on 20 May 2008 from complications of acute malaria. He was 26 years old and was a team leader, district coordinator, Good Life Club counselor, member of the Karen National Union, and the Karen Youth Organization. He was single and his family live in a forced relocation site in Burma.

This is a very difficult time for the people of Burma as they suffer from the effects of the cyclone and the oppression of the dictators. In the midst of this, good things do happen and we wanted to share our joy at the wedding of two of our FBR relief team members.

Thanks for all of your support for IDPs under attack and the cyclone victims. With your assistance we are able to continue to support relief teams helping people displaced by ongoing attacks of the Burma Army.
