will be presented yearly.
in social service, and be an ideal for
citizens and society.
virtue,” there are nine U.S. cities
participating in this award ceremony so
far. Coordination efforts are being
made with more cities interested in the
ceremony.
Although the award ceremony is
initiated by cities in the U.S., we hope
that in the coming years the ceremony
will extend widely to include
international Burmese communities.
The host city of the award ceremony
will alternate every year among the
participant cities. The fist ceremony
will be held at Whittier College, near
Los Angeles, on April 24th 2010.
Anyone interested can nominate
persons or organizations that have
sacrificed much for social services
inside Burma. From among those
nominated, selection committees in
each participant city will choose five
nominees.
From among these nominees, the five
finalists, persons and/or organizations,
will have the most total internet votes
from participant cities. Moreover, the
five finalists will have demonstrated
much sacrifice and wide achievement
As for collecting the votes in this way:
the main way in which people can be
involved in this award every year is
through internet voting. The voting
and collection process is not meant to
judgmentally differentiate the pure
minds and noble efforts of the heroes
concerned with social services inside
the country. And, the process is
generally meant to reflect the desires of
the people inside and outside the
country.
Overseas Burmese people gladly and
proudly appreciate those who
voluntarily perform social services for
people who need help inside Burma.
Nominees are currently being accepted
at www.citizenofburma.org for this
award. You can vote for the final five
nominees from April 12 to 21, 2010.
