I wish you all a very happy and healthy day! My name is Myitung Tawng Ma. I am a ninth-grader at Alen Bum School for Internally Displaced Persons. People in my village have been forced to flee their homes and lands because the Bamar army has killed and destroyed them all, and children are starving and living in constant dread. They have no time to rest and live their lives in extreme agony, and it breaks my heart every time I think of it, so I express it in my paintings. As a result, citizens from other countries should assist us as much as possible. I’m going to work hard to one day become a fashion designer and aid people who are poor. God bless you all who are watching. Thank you.
