Extra Credit Opportunity-Learn about the situation in Burma!

Patrick Cook-Deegan, a recent graduate of Brown University, will speak this coming Wednesday at LHS about the crimes against humanity currently being committed in Burma. In 2006, he rode his bicycle through Burma, Laos, Cambodia to raise money to build a primary school in Laos. He ended up raising enough money to build a primary school, a library , and enough to give two K-12 scholarships to two girls in Cambodia. During his ride, Patrick personally witnessed the atrocities being committed in Eastern Burma by the brutal Burmese military regime, was tailed by Burmese officials, and spoke to hundreds of locals about their daily hardships.
