While reporting in Myanmar after the coup, I was helped by many people. Residents who held shields in front of me to protect me from snipers while I was filming the approaching army, neighbors who informed me of suspicious people, friends who secretly filmed and informed the media of me being detained. They did all this for me because they wanted me to "share their voices with the world”.

Journalists, who are supposed to be the voices of the people, are placed in a difficult situation in Myanmar. I hope that this project will demonstrate the spirit of mutual help, which I witnessed many times among Burmese. I am very happy to be able to start this project with many fellows, supporting and working together with our friends in Myanmar. I look forward to meeting new supporters along the way.
