This is a still image of a PSA we filmed weeks before a cyclone tragically thwarted Myanmar. The military has been oppressing the people of Burma for a long time, and it is an eerie coincidence that we're just now seeing the effects on a catastrophic scale. I will post the video again soon -- I had to take it down because it was not yet ready to air. Sorry, it was premature for me to post it in the first place!  

Hey guys,

I just wanted share with you how I feel about the tragic cyclone that recently hit Burma.

The death toll may wind up being something astronomical like 100,000 people (I read this on CNN.com). And the country's government just started accepting aid from other countries (finally!)

My sisters and I recently did a public service announcement, which you can see here, about Burma's political plight. Now, the region needs our help more than ever! You can read more here about our PSA shoot and here on how to help.

It just makes me think: A few months ago I had no idea about the problems of Burma... and now I am simply devastated.

Are you going to do something to help?

xoxo,
Kim

    Hey how would you like to take on a project that could bennefit us both, kind of like your homeless friend, sorry I forgot his name, but I would love the oppertunity to bring that joy of what you did and what was felt inside, around again. I will never have near the same amount of resources and connections that you do, and be able to help anyone in the extent that you could. I would love the chance to get help in making a difference in the lives of my childrens’ and my own.The respect that I have for you and the differences that you have done, the changes you have helped make happen. I hope to hear from you and hope that you except this experience to help bring great feelings around and make a difference…..Love You Guys!!!
