I’m so thankful to have been nominated for the I Got Moxie award last night! It is such an honor that my passion for The Charis House and @fwrescuemission was recognized on the Miss IN Teen USA stage last nightwhat a blessing it is to bless others.

I am so proud to be a Burmese American girl: KK Kokonaing

As Miss Fort Wayne’s OT, I want to use my platform to speak for my Burmese people. 
Right now in Myanmar, innocent civilians are being killed by the Military Coup. Children as young as 1 and elders alike are being robbed their human rights. 54 million people are fearing for their lives, hundreds and hundreds have been beaten, raped, and killed. Instead of learning how to read or how to write, the children in Myanmar are learning how to fight and how to hide. 
There may not be many ways to physically give, but when we raise our voices we pay tribute to those fighting for freedom, fighting to ensure a better future for their children, OUR children. 
If you have any questions or would like to have a conversation about what’s happening, don’t hesitate to contact me!!! 
PRAY FOR MYANMAR. We will fight until we win! We will fight until we win! Ezra-Gabriel Kokonaing Gabriel Kokonaing Minn M Nan Tin Lydia Tremaine Kim Vandervort-Mccutchan Cydney Bridges Lydia Win ZZ Kokonaing Jim-Jan Byers Amy Hanna Shared with Ezra-Gabriel Kokonaing Here.
