BURMA ACTION DIRECTORY-VOLUME II

THE BURMA ACTION DIRECTORY (BAD)
UPDATE OCTOBER 1995
PART II -- GEOGRAPHIC LIST
This Directory, which is in constant evolution, is a networking
tool for the Burma support community. It also lists some of the
people and institutions whose decisions will influence Burma's
future. It does not try to cover the whole of the Burma support
community or the organisations interested in Burma. Many of the
groups and individuals have specialized interests and information
which may be mentioned where not obvious from their titles. The
Directory is in three parts: thematic, geographic and corporate.
There is much overlap. BAD is particularly weak on media,
academics and governments. Please send corrections and additions
to the Burma Peace Foundation, which will put out a BAD UPDATE
from time to time on reg.burma, soc.cult.burma etc.
URGENT: PLEASE SEND NAMES, PHONE, FAX, MAIL AND EMAIL ADDRESSES
OF BURMA DESK OFFICERS AND REGIONAL OFFICERS OF GOVERNMENTS AND
REGIONAL ORGANISATIONS to
darnott@xxxxxxxxxxx or (Fax (+1-212)692 9748
