ဒီနေ့ ဆွေးနွေးမယ့် အကြောင်းအရာက
အာဏာသိမ်းပြီး ၅ နှစ်ကျော်လာတဲ့အချိန်မှာ
CDM တွေ ဘယ်လို ရပ်တည်နေရလဲဆိုတဲ့ အကြောင်းဖြစ်ပါတယ်။

CDM ဆိုတာ
အလုပ်တစ်ခုကို စွန့်လွှတ်လိုက်တာတင် မဟုတ်ပါဘူး။

မိသားစု၊ အနာဂတ်၊ လုံခြုံရေး၊
တချို့အတွက်တော့ မွေးရပ်မြေကိုပါ
စွန့်ခွာခဲ့ရတဲ့ ရွေးချယ်မှုတစ်ခုပါ။

၅ နှစ်ကျော်လာတဲ့ ဒီကာလမှာ
CDM တွေရဲ့ အခက်အခဲတွေက
ဘယ်လို ပြောင်းလဲလာလဲ၊
အမျိုးသမီး CDM တွေအတွက် ဘာတွေ ပိုခက်ခဲလာလဲ၊
ဒီနေ့ အတူ ဆွေးနွေးသွားပါမယ်။

ဒီတစ်ပတ်ရဲ့ စကားသံ အစီအစဥ်မှာ​​တော့ မ နှင်း ‌‌‌ေဝအောင် (CDM တပ် သား ဇနီး ) မလှလှဌေး ( ကျန်းမာရေး CDM ) နှင့် မ မဒီချို ( ပညာ​ရေး CDM ) တို့က ​ဆွေး​နွေး တင်ဆက်​ပေးသွားပါမယ်။

ပိတောက်ဖူး နှင့် ပြည်သူ့စစ်သားဇနီးများက စီစဉ်တဲ့ယခုစကားသံအစီအစဉ်ကို အပါတ်စဉ် သောကြာနေ့ ည7:00 မှာ

A 5-day meditation retreat was organized for villagers from Ingyinbin and nearby communities. Around 150 people including many elderly villagers gathered together to meditate, reflect, and find emotional and spiritual relief after years of fear, displacement, and instability.

With support from our valued donors, the monastery was able to provide two meals a day while participants devoted 5–6 hours daily to meditation practice. For many villagers, this retreat was a rare opportunity for mental rest, healing, and peace in the midst of ongoing turmoil.

This sacred village carries the legacy of the Most Revered Webu Sayadaw, and today U Mandala continues that noble path by creating spaces for healing, resilience, and hope for the next generation.

Thank you for helping keep these moments of peace alive.

Join the Sydney Myanmar community this coming Sunday for the Sydney screening of “Thabyay: Creative Resistance in Myanmar”, a powerful new documentary written and directed by Jeanne Hallacy.

The film follows four remarkable Myanmar leaders, violinist Phoe San, educator Sayarma Susanna Hla Hla Soe, poet Maung Saungkha, and activist Thet Swe Win, as they confront impossible choices between armed resistance and non-violence, while using music, poetry, and art as powerful tools of resistance in Myanmar’s ongoing revolution.

At its core, Thabyay is also a story about displacement and asylum. Each person featured has faced persecution, exile, or forced displacement because of their stand against military rule, reflecting the experiences of countless Myanmar people seeking safety and dignity today.

The evening will include:
🎶 Choir performance
🎥 Documentary screening
🎤 Panel discussion with Sayarma Susanna Hla Hla Soe and writer Ma Thida (in person)
🎙 Moderated by actor and Karen-Scottish pro-democracy advocate Tasneem Roc
💻 Additional speakers joining via Zoom
📍 Leichhardt Town Hall
📅 Sunday, 10 May 2026
🕕 6:00–7:30 PM
🎟 Free entry — all are welcome

When you take part in this TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) session, you’re not just showing up for yourself, you’re showing up for someone else, too.

For every participant who joins, one person in Myanmar will also receive access to trauma healing support.

In a place where stress, conflict, and uncertainty are part of daily life, simple, body-based practices like TRE can offer something powerful: relief, grounding, and a path toward healing.

This is what makes this session different.
Your breath, your movement, your healing, it extends beyond you.

💛 One session for you
💛 One session for someone in Myanmar
💛 A shared step toward recovery, across borders

Join us not only to reconnect with your own body, but to help someone else begin that journey too.

On May 5, six children and one adult were killed after the Myanmar military reportedly dropped bombs on Khaupuichhip Village in Falam Township, Chin State. The attack struck a village playground while children were playing. Local sources say the children killed ranged in age from just five months old to 10 years old. Many others were injured, some critically.

No child should grow up under the sound of fighter jets. No parent should have to bury their children because of war. Yet across Myanmar, families continue to endure unimaginable violence with little protection and little support.

As headlines move on, these communities remain trapped between displacement, fear, and grief. Chin State, like many parts of Myanmar, continues to face devastating humanitarian consequences as civilians bear the brunt of the conflict.

At Better Burma, we stand in solidarity with the people of Chin State and with all communities across Myanmar suffering through this ongoing crisis. We mourn the lives lost and hold close the families forever changed by this tragedy.

Please continue paying attention to Myanmar.
Please continue speaking about these atrocities.
And please continue supporting humanitarian efforts for civilians caught in the conflict.

Thingyan is often seen as a festival of water.

But at its heart, it is about care.

It is a time when people return to the elderly, washing their hair, trimming their nails, offering food, and paying quiet respect.

In Wachet Village, this tradition was carried forward in a simple, unspoken way.

The elderly were not only given support. They were welcomed, seated, fed, and gently cared for through small, intentional acts.

And in a time shaped by uncertainty and hardship, these moments matter.

Because sometimes, what we hold onto is the way we continue to care for one another.

If you would like to be part of sustaining these quiet acts of care, for the elderly, for children, for communities, you are welcome to support this work through the donation link in our bio. 🙏🏼

Four explosions.
Three locations in Mese Township.
For many, the sound lasted only seconds.
For the children, it stays much longer.

Some found temporary shelter underground. Others are still moving, trying to find somewhere that feels safer.
But safety is not only about distance.
The children are not sleeping easily.
Some wake up suddenly in the night.
Some cry when they hear loud sounds.
Some stay very quiet.

The sense of normal life has been interrupted in ways that are difficult to explain.
This is what conflict leaves behind.
Not only damaged homes but shaken lives.
Not only displacement but fear that lingers quietly, especially in children.

In refugee camps in Mizoram, many adolescent girls grow up without access to basic personal items because families are doing what they can with very limited income.

Last week, four refugee camps were reached, and 200 girls (ages 11–15) received personal hygiene kits.

Each kit included simple things:
underwear, a vest, a comb, a nail clipper, a mirror, and a small pouch to keep them.

Each kit was simple but personal. For many of these girls, it was the first time having items that were fully their own.

Alongside the distribution, short guidance sessions were shared with girls and caregivers, practical, everyday knowledge that can continue long after the materials are used.

If this is something you’d like to be part of, you can support more efforts like this through Better Burma.
