I have not kept current on this website for a while, but that is because there has been a lot going on and very little time to write.
Most immediately, on 23 March I am joining a group going out to the Rohingya refugee camps near Cox’s Bazaar in Bangladesh. The Interfaith Witness to Stop Genocide in Burma consists of Muslims, Christians, Jews and at least this one Buddhist. We will meet with and interview refugees, talk with representatives of supporting NGOs, and have time both with press and government officials in Dhaka. I imagine this will be a difficult journey, but it is essential witness for those of us in the West, whose every religious tradition teaches compassion.
While my travel expenses are covered, I hope to bring donations of cash for Rohingya support, and connect with organizations that are reliably and accountably supporting the refugees. I know that many of you care about the plight of Rohingya people and have deep concerns about the actions of Burmese Buddhists. I welcome your donations large and small at the Paypal button below.

Interfaith Witness to Stop Genocide in Burma
Dear Friends,
