press release: "There are countries and cultures that make you feel at home. There are places you learn to love. Places where you realize you are suddenly very happy. Myanmar has been all of those things to me.

"The country has been closed off from the rest of the world for 60 years. The military government enriched themselves by exploiting the country's natural wealth. In the face of their force, students, monks and less organized citizens have pushed back over and over.

"The people are open and quick to smile. It was a privilege to be there days before their first open and recognized election. Myanmar is a place that makes me cross my fingers. Their incredibly diverse population deserves their hard fought liberty. The ethnic groups deserve their traditions and peace." -- Edie Swift
