Khu Khu talks, and Damien Rice listens.

BORDERLINE VISIT

The US Campaign for Burma visited the Borderline shop in July 2004. They brought with them Ani DiFranco and Damien Rice. These two musicians were among a larger group who donated songs for a charity album for the US Campaigh for Burma.

BORDERLINE MURAL

Since March, few people can miss the entrance of the Borderline thanks to the 15 meter long mural, designed by Ko Nyan Soe, a member artist, and painted by other artists and volunteers. The design was selected from many ideas offered during the mural contest, with first prize, the honour of having the painting exhibited forever on the wall of the Borderline.
