Who We Are
We, the 88 Generation Students International (88GSI), are a group of self-funded and independent individuals, founded in December 2011. We proudly take prides in: We hold these traditions as self-evidence of the truth and the dignity that define who we are and what we are.
 * the spirits of the 1988 democracy movements; and
 * the traditions of student activism, leading to national movements against colonialism in the 1920s; the independence struggles in the 1940s; and our stand against successive dictatorships since independence.

What We Do
We strive to recognise and honour the living truths of the 1988 Democracy Movements and to carry forward the traditions of student movements against colonialism, fascism and dictatorship and help sow the seeds of democracy, rule of laws and human rights in Burma.

The Living Truths of the 1988 Democracy Movements
Our living truths The Burma's struggle, widely known as the 1988 Democracy Movements, that began in the 8888 Uprising and initiated by student movements, was the struggle against repressions by successive dictatorships since independence. And it was the struggle to restore democracy, founded by our founding fathers of modern Burma, which was taken away by force in 1962. Thousands sacrificed their lives and many more thousands were imprisoned for this noble cause.
