FBR REPORT: Message
From A Relief Team Leader
Shan State FBR IDP Mission
Shan State, Burma

Treating Shan IDP

Shan children and good life packs
These are photos of Shan people receiving medical treatment
and relief in the area southwest of Mong Pan, Southern Shan State. Shan FBR
relief teams are now conducting relief missions in this area to provide medical
assistance, general relief, good life packs for children and to report on the
situation. The most important mission the team has, however, is to love and
encourage the people.
This area of the Shan State is under Burma Army domination
and the people live in fear. Narcotic production, both heroin and amphetamines,
occurs under the protection of the Burma Army. In spite of this, the Shan people
attempt to live in dignity and being with them is always a warm experience.
God bless you,
A relief team leader

The Free Burma Ranger’s (FBR) mission is to provide hope, help and
love to internally displaced people inside Burma, regardless of ethnicity
or religion. Using a network of indigenous field teams, FBR reports on human
rights abuses, casualties and the humanitarian needs of people who are under
the oppression of the Burma Army. FBR provides medical, spiritual and educational
resources for IDP communities as they struggle to survive Burmese military
attacks.
