Translation To all my Karen people, I have a message for you. To all the young people growing up, our culture/ tradition will eventually disappear, It will wither, I worry. Our culture is beautiful, but do not forget our heritage, do not abandon our traditions. Please accept them all. Those living in the East, West, or out of the country, far away from your homeland. Our traditions, our culture, our wrist tying ceremony and new year, do not forget, I advise you all. One day when our children grow up, if they don’t practice their traditions, it will disappear, won’t it? Some don’t even appreciate their culture anymore. If you don’t practice your traditions, it will disappear one day. It’s true, it will be forgotten, aren't you concerned? We must prevent it before it is too late. We all have a duty, to send this message to the younger generations so that it will not vanish. It’s your duty to help keep your culture/heritage stay alive.
