Thant Zaw Htwe was killed by a Burma Army landmine on 11 April 2023, in Nyaunglebin District, Karen State, Burma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was a leading member of the Good Life Club program and one of the kindest, most humble, and hard-working rangers we ever served with. He also was a video-man and reporter on his team. On the last mission we spent with him, his constant smile brightened each day while his love gave joy to children in hiding. After every children\u2019s program, he would walk around and pick up trash and spent extra time comforting families. He was the first to be ready for any mission and one of the last to leave a dangerous area. I was very close to him, as was my family and all the rangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was a young Burman who joined FBR after the coup and always prayed with us for freedom, justice, and reconciliation. His life was cut short by a Burma Army landmine and we are all devastated. When I heard the news, I cried and prayed for his family. We pray for an end to the Burma Army attacks and the dictatorship that kills and maims so many. This same week another of our team, Nyi Nyi, lost his foot to a Burma Army landmine in Karenni State. All this is evil. We will do our best to help take care of Thant Zaw Htwe\u2019s family and to honor his memory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love and God bless you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
