Burmese communities from the UnitedStates are hosting an award ceremony
to gladly and proudly honor andappreciate those people in Burma who
voluntarily perform social services for
others. This Citizen of Burma Awardwill be presented yearly.
Sounding forth the slogan, mutuallyhelping each other is the peoples
virtue, there are nine U.S. cities
participating in this award ceremony so
far. Coordination efforts are beingmade with more cities interested in theceremony.
Although the award ceremony is
initiated by cities in the U.S., we hope
that in the coming years the ceremonywill extend widely to include
international Burmese communities.The host city of the award ceremony
will alternate every year among the participant cities. The fist ceremonywill be held at Whittier College, near
Los Angeles, on April 24th 2010.
Anyone interested can nominate persons or organizations that have
sacrificed much for social services
inside Burma. From among thosenominated, selection committees in
each participant city will choose fivenominees.
From among these nominees, the fivefinalists, persons and/or organizations,
will have the most total internet votesfrom participant cities. Moreover, the
five finalists will have demonstratedmuch sacrifice and wide achievement
in social service, and be an ideal forcitizens and society.
As for collecting the votes in this way:
the main way in which people can beinvolved in this award every year isthrough internet voting. The voting
and collection process is not meant to judgmentally differentiate the pure
minds and noble efforts of the heroes
concerned with social services insidethe country. And, the process is
generally meant to reflect the desires ofthe people inside and outside the
country.
Overseas Burmese people gladly and
proudly appreciate those whovoluntarily perform social services for
people who need help inside Burma.
