At the moment I would like to emphasize the need for vocational training, for non-formal education in Burma to help all those young people who have suffered from a bad education. They have to be trained to earn their living. They have to have enough education vocational training to be able to set up respectable lives for themselves.

Burmese political culture lacks an understanding of negotiated compromise. We have to build up that kind of culture.

To be kind is to respond with sensitivity and human warmth to the hopes and needs of others. Even the briefest touch of kindness can lighten a heavy heart. Kindness can change the lives of people.

With the right kind of institutions, starting with the rule of law, Burma could progress very quickly.

The true measure of the justice of a system is the amount of protection it guarantees to the weakest.

Challenges mean opportunities as well.

By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.
