Hello,

I'm travelling to Myanmar next month in order to setup a funrniture workshop. I'm looking for any usefull information and contact of peoples interested to involve in the project.

Peoples: skilled/unskilled cabinet makers, carvers and also person with technical knowledge in wood and/or steel field. Administrative employees, translator....

Ideal location is Nort-East
