My blog I update daily is at http://www.sophielwin.blogspot.com/. There you will find the latest of what is most important to me. I had time on my hands before trying to be all over the place on here but I am now extremely busy as I have dedicated most of my free time to spread awareness on the horrific situation in Burma. We currently are working on a global day of solidarity rallying for a candle light vigil on October 24th, 2007. This day will mark 12 years imprisonment of the Burmese Democratic leader/Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. If you have any questions or would like to know how you can help please feel free to contact me. I will keep you informed with more detailed information as it becomes available. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your dedication and support to save lives in Burma. To those of you who have chosen not to do anything I urge you please feel for other what you feel for yourself.
Love
Sophie
