Aung San Suu Kyi

If you don't know the story of Aung San Suu Kyi then I highly recommend you go research her courtesy of Wikipedia! A quick run down - Aung San Suu Kyi is an activist and leader of the National League for Democracy in Myanmar, Burma. She stands for peace and human rights and has come under fire many times from the Burma Government. They have placed her on house arrest a few times and it still continues, while many rally to give her support in the hope of her freedom. This bit is what touched me the most (once again from Wikipedia): "Her husband Michael Aris, a British citizen, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997; the Burmese Government denied him an entry visa. Aung San Suu Kyi remained in Burma, and never again saw her husband, who died in March 1999". So maybe people might like to read into her and if you agree or if it interests you then sign one of the many online petitions... I know it never seems like it will work but least you know you tried… So I dedicate this entry to Aung San Suu Kyi and her efforts to make the world a better place for those less fortunate!
