    Davis Enterprise - Your Local News 7/8/09 4:01 PM Art take us to a far-flung land By Diane Chin Lui | Enterprise art critic | July 08, 2009 07:21 Burma or Myanmar? Which is the official name of the Southeast Asian country? While talking with Davis resident Max Harrington, co-founder of the Myanmar Children's Foundation, he used the two names interchangeably. But when asked which was correct, he explained that 'Burma' was used until 1989, when the government changed the country's name to 'Myanmar.' Despite this, Harrington admitted that both 'Aung Pan Market (Maria),' by Maung Maung names still are used. Myanmar refers to the Thint 'Sane' (Max Harrington/Courtesy photo) country as a whole. 'Burma' or 'Burmese' describes a majority ethnic group within Myanmar. Three years ago, having just graduated from UC San Diego, Harrington started teaching English in Myanmar. While working at the Prahida Orphanage Education Monastery, he learned about a building project to replace leaky huts that served as classrooms for the orphans. Unfortunately, the monastery needed additional funds to complete the project. After the school semester ended, Harrington returned to Davis and raised enough money to help finish the construction. Harrington subsequently co-founded the nonprofit Myanmar Children's Foundation with his mother, Susan Steinberg, and Rita Montes-Martin. In two short years, the foundation, based in Davis has grown to 350 members nationally and internationally. The foundation's mission provides charitable and educational assistance to Myanmar's under-served, orphaned and low-income children. To help raise funds for ongoing and future projects, the foundation has mounted an exhibit at Davis' International House.

Its capital, Mawlamyine (also known Mawlamyaing) is Myanmar’s 4th largest city, and the capital of the former British Empire. The state is renowned for Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda, aptly named Golden Rock, and Win Sein Taw Ya, which is the site of the world’s largest reclining Buddha statue. Such rich religious cultural heritage is unsurprising given that Mon is where Theravada Buddhism was first established in Myanmar some 2,500 years ago. Kayin Encircled by karst limestone peaks that soar out of lush green paddy fields, Hpa An, is the picturesque capital of Kayin State (also known as Karen). Most famous for its impressive and very sacred limestone caves, Kayin State also offers many scenic spots comprising of hills and rivers, and farmlands. A popular place to start the ascent of Mount Zwegabin is Lumbini Garden, home to over 1,100 Buddha statues. Take time to appreciate the stunning views of this mountainous area before taking a slow boat down the Thanlyin River to exotic Mawlamyine in Mon State. Mon - a place of WELCOME TO spiritual birth and rebirth Mon State is vibrantly spiritual; monasteries offer insight awareness meditation (satipatthana vipassana), and Pa Auk Taw MON & KAYIN Ya, which at 500 acres is one of the largest meditation centres in Myanmar, is about 10km from Mawlamyine.
