We should exponentially increase the U.S. aid program to Burma by increasing aid to IDP. refugee. and democracy organizations. as well as by providing funding to help rehabilitate child soldiers. establish health programs addressing malaria. TB. and HIV/AIDS. support education programs. increase human rights documentation capabilities. and assist with protection capabilities.
