DESCRIPTION:Locally Led Development: Phaung Daw Oo (PDO) and its Vision of
  Burma.\n\nBurma is infamous in the international media for its on-going h
 uman rights crises\, censorship\, and totalitarian government structures o
 ften likened with Orwellian 1984. However\, despite such characterizations
  in the\ninternational media\, everyday life in Burma\, just like any othe
 r place in the world\, persists. This talk brings together two individuals
 \, a Burmese and an American\, who work with Phaung Daw Oo School of Manda
 lay\, a locally led and directed Burmese initiative that is trying amend n
 umerous social wrongs through the promotion of education\, inquiry\, toler
 ance\, and community empowerment. The talk will bring you an insider's pea
 k into the lives and livelihood of average citizens in this isolated polit
 y\, and how citizens have adopted unique self-empowering projects in an ef
 fort to bring change.
