Dear Friend,

Last year we had a very successful Karen Cultural event in London and many of you asked about this recently. Good News! The Karen community is pleased to be able to put this cultural event again this year and would like to invite you to join us and enjoy our cultural performance with food.

Place: St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace, 78 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4AG.

The aims of this event are to raise awareness about the Karen people, our culture, tradition and the situation of Karen people in Burma. At the same time we would like to raise funds for our organisation to continue our activities to help our people back home in Burma.
