Of Bremen Punks finance orphanage for burmesische refugee children

Punk for Burma with “The draws” (openPR) - Punk and Benefiz for the refugees from Burma How is that to fit Helping without borders member Marcus Mitwollen from Bremen got such doubts about its plan to hear more frequently, if he told of his plans to organize a Punkkonzert for helping without borders in of Bremen the meeting center “slaughterhouse”. But Marcus is not, which can be confused easily. It played in former times in volume and from that time comes also its good contacts to of Bremen the music scene.

Its enthusiasm for the planned Benefizkonzert stuck on finally. Of Bremen business owners donated for the costs, a commercial artist sketched to it the poster, the slaughterhouse placed the whole technology and the amplifier plant, the technicians worked in vain.

The local media reported a transmission over Burma in the apron and radio Bremen brought on 24 November 2006 and presented thereby also the work of helping without borders.

Four of Bremen Punkrockbands participated on 25 November with full employment, which Ska Punkband The draws, lot Wochos with Mexican Balladenpunk, Aggramakabra with straightem hard core Punk and as special highlight the Mimmi's. volume made a giant tendency in the close and - suitably the Punk - completely areas of the magazine cellar held in dark colors. From the guests there was only positive feedback, who inspired atmosphere and the tendency.

“I have some discussions led with people, which wanted to inform to Burma”, report Marcus. “Were also a few people there, which in the reason only entrance paid and into the donation box threw something and again went, because Punkmusik “is not their thing”. Also I found super.”

“Which particularly made me happy was a becoming he fan with the Heimspiel Werder Bremen against Bielefeld in that of Bremen fan curve a not insignificant amount for us collected and then on the stage presented to me. He had distributed our Flyer in the stadium also and had from there bring along some fans. Another put 80 euro on the table and bought for it a Burma Shirt”.

Thus “Punk for refugees in Burma” became a large success in each regard. Over 350 paying guests pushed themselves before the stage, within the bar range and before the info. tables, at which plentifully “Free Burma” T-Shirts were sold. Around the 4,000 euro met after departure of all costs. Enough to convert around a long planned project of helping without borders: The orphanage in the refugee village “Piang Fah” also over 90 children, who live there on closest area, is to be removed.

Of the volume members, that had informed about the situation of humans in Burma and which exactly knew, for which they had played, came the idea to repeat the meeting in the next year only somewhat more largely it was to then become. And all want to again take part in next time.
