| - Help without Frontiers (Italian: Aiutare senza Confini; German: Helfen ohne Grenzen) is an aid organization with its main office in Bolzano (Bozen), Italy, and two branch offices in Austria and Germany. The organization, which is based on voluntary service, assists the ethnic minorities of Burma (renamed Myanmar) threatened and forced to flee from the persecutions and repressions of the SPDC military government. The territory in which the association operates is located along both sides of the Thai-Burma border. Help without Frontiers invests 100% of the donations received (approx. 300.000 Euro/380.000 USD in 2005) into its projects. The expenses for administration, travels and communication are covered by the members of the association themselves, by public grants and grants from companies thanks to a specific sponsoring program. The goals of Help without Frontiers are:
* to carry out long-term projects in cooperation with the refugees of the various ethnic groups, in first place Karen people and Shan people seeking refuge in Thailand and in the IDP hiding spots in the remote jungle areas inside Burma.
* to invest the money received in an effective and entrepreneurial way
* to allow volunteers to cooperate on the spot
* to keep people at home informed about the actual extent of the human tragedy in Burma, particularly about he genocide taking place hidden to the eyes of the world
* To spread regularly (on our site and through newsletters) the news reported in the international press on the situation in Burma and on the condition of the refugees.
