Episode: Japan hosts Myanmar fundraiser
Description: A group of dedicated supporters gathered in Tokyo last month at a concert to raise money and awareness for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Myanmar. Three years have passed since a military coup brought an abrupt end to the fledgling democracy and caused widescale suffering.
