Hla Day is honored to be one of three recipients of donations through the sale of the limited first eddition. The limited first edition can be purchased here for $75 with $25 being donated to a nonprofit of your choice.
"My father loved Burma.
He loved his house there – the people he knew there – the language – everything about the country. Having visited multiple times over the last five years, I too have learned to love the country. Whether it’s walking the night market in Yangon, going upriver to Mrauk U, or being mistaken for a ghost in Chin State, which is still my friend Charlotte’s favorite story of all, there is a beauty and magic to the country.
So when the time came to actually publish “Floating,” I made the decision to launch the publication process with a limited first edition of 999 copies. (9 being a very lucky number in Burma.) The 999 copies will all be hand-numbered and signed by yours truly and each one will be delivered wrapped in a beautiful fabric wrapping that is being handmade by Hla Day"
Hla Day team wishes to thank James for his generosity. All funds raised will go towards our Myanmar Artisan Toolkit project - improving livlihood through increased business skills.
