Dear Friends: 
        Information Service on Burmese Democracy Affairs would like to
announce the decision to donate US$500 to the families of political
prisoners in Burma. This is part of the money  we obtained by sharing the
NLD video tapes with you. Thank you for your cooperation for democracy and
human rights in Burma. 
        We would also like to announce additional new videos documentaries
ready for distribution. Since audio sound tracks of some tapes were not
clear, ISBDA has applied Simulated Stereo Sound Effect to produce pretty
good quality copies for you. 
        After request of the non-Burmese speaking friends, Daw Aung San Suu
Kyi has allocated a few minutes to summarize her forum speeches in English.
We will make sure (English Summary) labels to be included in the
