Dear past participants and interested persons,
MYANMAR (BURMA) January 14-30, 2009
I have decided to proceed with the excursion to Burma. My travel network in
Burma has advised me, that travel is safe and the infrastructure intact in
the regions that are on our exciting itinerary.
Discovery Art Travel will be helping the recovery process in a pottery
village that has suffered some damage during the storm. A wonderful
opportunity has arisen for the group to visit such a pottery with a Burmese
pottery expert, Dr. Myo Thant Tin. He is a respected authority in his
professional circle, has been chosen to oversee repairs and development in a
small village which is on our itinerary. I am planning to make a donation to
this cause out of the proceeds from your registration. We will also be
visiting several potteries north of Mandalay in the Nwe Nyein region. This
area is not on the usual tourist track. We are also lucky to have another
Burmese pottery expert, Dr. Aung Bo, to accompany us on this journey up the
Ayeyarwady river to the region.
I invite you to participate in this exciting program and at the same time
help the local potters. There will a maximum of 12 persons, and the
registration is already filling up for this trip.
THE TOTAL COST OF THE BURMA EXCURSION IS $ 3495
YOU REGISTER BEFORE SEPTEMBER 15 you will SAVE $100.

involved are on the website at www.denysjames.com
