Myanmar: Birthday Wishes Part 2 (video)

 

Today is my 46th birthday, October 18, 2013. Last year, I donated my birthday to raise money for Solar Cookers. I asked friends in Myanmar to help me have 45 people say Happy Birthday to me in 45 languages!

What do I want for my birthday this year?

WATCH34 Festival and Birthday Wishes Part 2, Myanmar (Burma)

October 18-20, 2012 We enjoyed the preparations for the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda Festival and more singing birthday wishes on the Lake and all around town. I loved the chocolate banana pancake at Pancake Kingdom! I ate it for lunch twice!

George took me to Green Chili Thai restaurant for dinner. For my 45th birthday I worked with JWW to donate solar cookers to refugee families in Darfur. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Together we collected enough money to help 50 families.
