There, a saying taught by intelligent Arakan ancestors, is that you are keeping your dignity, generation and honesty of Arakan by adopts marrying your own people, not any kind of foreigners. An educated interviewee, Aung Min, said that it is a way of discrimination, so he wants canceling the out-of-date believe among society, simultaneously has the responsibility to abide given by parents the traditional events. The traditional wedding of Arakan is quite similar to all other ethnic societies. The groom is chargeable for all the bridal cost. Yet, it is quite still surprising. Parents are really essential to the lovers. Without parents agreements, a happy life are very hard to survive, said the interviewee. For that there is because of an oath made by an unknown famous ancestor. Firstly, many things are needed as preparations for a good and fantastic wedding. For an impressing one, preparations such as foods, halls, and invitation candles are essential. Several friends of the bride and groom come for helps. Ladies prepare foods and gentlemen for example halls. Invitations candles are supposed to be shared by the groom to all relatives, friends and chiefs. All quartos of work have to be done by in early morning. By the time in the evening, separate parties for the sole adult friends are held in homes of bride and groom also. Sweet songs are sung and drink wine and alcohol competitively if the houses are quite near to each, if they are in the same village. On the day of bridal, an invited monk comes to bride’s home to the two at very early five AM in a special decorated room for a short blessed parable. Then, the three have a meal, sticky rice and fruits, called “God meal” together, in that room. The very beautiful room is thought as a sacred and immaculate place. And another reason is that for the pairs in love, understanding and spirit to last forever. Next, the groom leaves for a ready of clothing to attend the usually held ceremony at eleven on time. Proceeding to the ceremony placed at bride’s compound, the groom has to come with crowds performing music and hymns. After that, to enter through a door into the room, the groom must pay some small amount of moneys to those closing the door. It is publicly said that it’s such an easy honest way of forgiving sins brought along his life. During ceremony, the groom pays expensive heirs-a bracelet, a necklace, and earrings- to the lovely bride in front of crowds in a decorated hall and then, a mayor announces to sign a promise letter. In it is written we are forever, patient, in gr4eat love and sacrificed. After all, receptions come. One interesting is that even finishing married, they are still ashamed of living together at once. Helps from both parents are still in a very important stage. Elders have to go along with groom to the bride’s room, make them sleep even though not willing to. They said that it is away of supporting them to be self-confident enough. Interviewee added that unfortunately if their homes, the two, are far to each others, for the groom is extravagant. There is a traditional belief in which passing village for a purpose of marriage is bringing disgrace and bad fortune for those villagers so have to pay small amount of moneys too.

Human Rights
We believe that everyone is entitled to a life of dignity and opportunity; and we work with poor communities, local partner organisations, volunteers, and supporters to make this a reality. Oxfam's goal is a world where every person is:

Poor people usually have a clear idea of what could help them to overcome their problems, but they lack the resources needed to put their ideas into practice.

It's hard to change your life for the better when you don't know how to read or write. Yet today, millions of children are being denied their best chance to escape poverty: unable to go to school because it's miles away, or because their parents can't afford the fees.

Often the most vulnerable people are those who are oppressed within their own society. This might be because they are women, or because of disability or ethnic or cultural identity.

Oxfam has a worldwide reputation for emergency relief work, providing shelter, clean water and sanitation services to people whose lives have been turned upside down by war or natural disaster.

In poor countries, many people don't have proper medical care. Even if they can afford treatment, sick people often have to walk for hours or even days to see a doctor.

Most poor people have no say in the decision that affect their lives, and no power to change things. Oxfam helps people to speak out together, so that their views and their needs are heard.
