Meet U Kyaw Thu. He is a two-time Myanmar Motion Picture Academy Award winner and a humanitarian star who has helped popularize free funeral service in Myanmar. Kyaw Thu is the reason that I decided to dedicate my summer field research this year to an organization that he helped found in 2001 and has headed the Yangon Free Funeral Service Society since 2008.
