Welcome ! Thank you for joining us to launch our first "Burmese Symposium - National Heritage: A Resource for Success".

We hope to have a lively, useful discussion with parents, youths, community leaders, development practitioners and scholars on a very important topic:

"how to build sustainable communities abroad".

We all know that there are many answers to this question in our rich national heritage:  in the cultures, traditions and literature of all our national ethnic races.

So let us come together on this day and try to find answers to the challenges that face our communities on:

"Aungzay" means "success", so let us sit down together and figure out innovative ways and means, to create sustainable communities in  USA and other parts of the world.

Looking forward to see you all.
