High Time to Revive Myanmar Puppet Tradition
History has many marvels up its sleeve. These marvels consist of traditions, monuments, culture and customs. Myanmar people too have been bestowed with numerous customs and traditions by their ancestors. Puppet art is one such tradition which was very famous in 17th and 18th century. During that time, puppets were not only used for entertainment purposes but also as a communication medium for the rural population. Puppeteers were nothing short of national heroes serving a public cause.
In the golden days of puppet culture, the puppet plays contained a message for the king. This was done because no common man could advise directly to the king. So, whenever there was a issue, puppeteers used to weave it in a puppet play and present a stage show before the king. The king would watch the play and then take the required action. Many lives were saved due to these puppets. But slowly, this puppet culture started to fade away. And by the time of 20th century it was only used for entertainment purposes.
One of the prime goals of this group is to preserve the puppet art form. They also teach young students how to organize puppet shows and are deeply involved in spreading the knowledge of this rich and vibrant art form throughout the world. 
My name is Kelly Chang who works on National Taiwan University as a Research Assistant for compiling the teaching materials into power-point files. The power-point-files will be published on the website (http://get.nccu.edu.tw:8080/getcdb/) for students to free download. I am writing this letter to ask your permission for using this picture.
Your permission is the most advantageous for our students. I am looking forward to hearing positive response from you.
please contact me by e-mail if you have any question: getkellychang@gmail.com thank you.
Sincerely Yours , Kelly Chang

Hello Everyone, Thank you very much for your comments.
Found your website by accident for the 2nd time these days so I thought I’d take a closer look. I’ve just began producing my personal website and modeling it right after what you’ve completed. I hope mine is going to be as effective as yours.
We the students of Asansol Engg. College are planning to organize
a puppet show in the annual technical festival of the college.
So it would be highly appreciated of we are given the contacts to approach HTWE OO MYANMAR group for the same.
I like to acquire breaks during the day and browse by means of some blogs to see what others are saying. This weblog appeared in my searches and I could not help but clicking on it. I am happy I did because it was a very enjoyable read.
I don’t really agree with your post, but it’s possible to argue it both ways
ok good
comfer to you ok good
