Burma Humanitarian mission is a great non-profit organization. The people involved, that I know, are honest, caring and truly dedicated in the cause for helping and improving the lives of the oppressed people in Burma, as well as the displaced refugees. Thank you for all your hard work, and special thanks to Jennifer Zurick Witte, who is instrumental in making all this possible.

I cannot say enough about the selfless work done by this organization! I have volunteered in the past with fund raisers and actions against the oil pipelines using slave labor in Burma. Every year, this group goes into Burma, facing constant danger from both the military and the jungles, to bring necessary medicines, educational materials and clothing to the Karen people living in jungle villages. Every year money is raised to directly help a population who has suffered constant abuse and genocide. I am proud to be able to support this excellent non-profit organization that channels every donation to the people of Burma who desperately need it.

Although I have not been able to physically participate in any of the BMH volunteer opportunities, I believe this to be a worthy and righteous cause. Through education of dedicated members of BMH, I have come to understand the necessity and strength of this organization. Job well done, money well spent. It's time to erase and eliminate all human suffering and brutality, so to this organization; only praise and continued support!

I have been involved with a number of social justice and environmental causes since 1990 and I have never worked with or volunteered for an organization that does as much with so few resources as BHM. Its board is made up of individuals who are deeply committed and who contribute endless amounts of time and resources toward helping the people of Burma.

After having traveled to Burma in 1999, I was forever touched by the people struggling with their oppressive government, and since then I've been looking for a way to help. Burma Humanitarian Mission is grassroots, tiny, and therefore incredibly effective in helping Burma's beleaguered ethnic minorities with basic health needs.

Burma Humanitarian Mission is one of those quiet but highly effective and efficient organizations that zeros in on human suffering and makes a profound impact. There are few others than can have as much impact for the effort as BHM does. The suffering they have focused on is very real. The medicines and medics they train make a profound difference. This is one organization where, if you are part of it, your time, commitment and cash will go directly to tangible differences you can see. They save lives...and why not be part of something so compelling in the face of abhorant cruelty?

For years now, Burma Humanitarian Mission has done great work to help the peoples of Burma oppressed by the junta and its Army. The isolation imposed on eastern Burma extracts a painful and brutal mortality on the Karen and other minorities who only wish to be free. The children suffer the most. BHM's support to backpack medics makes a world of difference -- helping reduce infant and child mortality rates

I have traveled to Southeast Asia and seen the abhorent conditions inflicted on the Karen and other ethnic Burmese minorities. There is tremendous need in many areas: education, health and medical. Burma Humanitarian Mission is an exceptional organization. It has long-standing ties with Karen and others who can focus the assitance provided gets directly to those who need it, in the jungles fleeing for their lives. BHM operates with very low costs and ensures 100% of individual donations buy medicines or trains medics. They have a heart of gold!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
their complete selfless dedication to helping the Karen and others.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Compassionate and caring. They get things done when governments can't even decide if children and families dying at the hands of the brutal junta is a problem.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make the US Government look bad as it would really ensure the a very expansive and effective health, medical and educaitonal program got to the people who needed it.
