TEMPLES, TREKS, AND TRIBES of BURMA: DECEMBER 2-17, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annalise and I found Burma to be one of our favorite countries. The people are kind and compassionate and the landscape is stunning. Trekking through the tribal villages is reminiscent of walking in theHimalayas with the addition of temples of every possible shape and description.
I’m planning to return to Burma this December to trek, visit ancient temples and also the NGO we are supporting that brings water roads, schools, health and family planning education to the tribal peoples in Shan state. Part of the trek fee will support these charitable programs. This trip starts in the capital ofYangon , and features touring, biking, and hiking amidst the temples of Bagan, treks through tribal villages in Kalaw area, and relaxing at Inle Lake

Hi Arlene,
I saw your mention in the latest Reed Alumni Magazine and figured I'd look you up. Not many Reedies in Burma...
I live in Bangkok and do some work on the Burma/Thai border -- Karen area -- on solar and micro-hydropower. See our website: www.bget.org.
Cheers,
Chris Greacen ('91)
