“Thousands of ethnic women, from nearly all religions and cultures all over Burma, have come together and taken part in the arduous Free Burma Rangers relief team training in Karen State. Year after year this happens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They learn to cross rivers by rope, land navigate, suture wounds, measure dosage, counsel the traumatized, disarm land mines, and much more. Once finished, they are deployed back to their ethnic areas where they serve those in their communities as well as those who have been displaced to the jungles in hiding. Impressive? Wait til you see the scenes in the film. On that note…:) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re trying to finish a film that tells these stories. We quite literally can’t do it without you, the patron, the friend, the volunteer, the partner. We need to raise the finishing funds to bring these stories to life. We’re in the middle of a crowdfunding campaign and have raised 37k+ of our initial goal of 50k. Help us by sharing the website (link in bio) where you can click a few buttons and add to the momentum. If you’re one of the 215+ patrons who have helped us so far, we can’t thank you enough! It’s so encouraging to see so many people join us to help tell this important story. www.fbrmovie.com”

As fuck…

The Agaimbo swamp is located in one of the most remote regions of Papua New Guinea. It is infested by malaria–carrying mosquitoes and huge crocodiles. The vegetation is dense and the intense heat is overpowering. ** In fact, it is the last place in the world you would expect to find a Second World War bomber plane. That, however, is exactly what was discovered there in 1972 by members of the Australian Air Force. The bomber was a B-17E Flying Fortress, a four-engine heavy bomber used by the United States Air Force. It was originally piloted by Captain Fred Eaton and took part in one of the first air attacks by the United States Army Air Force during the Second World War. ** The bomber was intercepted by Japanese Fighters after a raid on ships at Japanese-occupied New Britain. The airplane suffered numerous hits and eventually crash-landed in Papua New Guinea – not because of the damage to the airplane, but because it ran out of fuel. ** Eaton and his men were on their way back to base at Long Reach in Queensland, Australia, but they crashed into Agaimbo Swamp on February 23, 1942. They survived six weeks of struggling on foot, fighting malaria and terrible heat. When the crew was reunited with American troops, these heroic individuals were immediately assigned to another aircraft and were flying again within a week. ** Source : WarHistoryOnline.com
