On July 17, 2010 Elena Tchainikova and Joanna Zablocki attended an event called Lady Of Burma, which was organized by Burma Global Action Network (Tim Eye Hardy) and was held at the Community Gallery on East 35th Street. It was a great event, well attended and very informational. We learned a lot about Lady of Burma. Lady of Burma is, of course -Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. “Daw” is a very respectful way to call her. It was interesting to learn about her life. She appears to be one of those rare human beings who are firlmy extablished in their principles of “Non-Violence”. We can only compare her to Gandhi or Dalai Lama. She has spent 14 years in prison out of the last 20 years, but she appears so strong, and she believes that the world would listen to her quiet voice of peaceful resistance. Just an amazing woman of unbeleivable strength. The only Nobel Prize Laureatte who is currently in prison. She is a huge inspiration for Network 355 team. "The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear." Aung San Suu Kyi
