Voices of Burma is a non-profit organization/ OPIRG working group that is working to help support Burmese migrants and refugees who have fled persecution within Burma, to Thailand. The group displays art done by the Karen refugees, many of whom are children. All donations help to support their schools, which receive no funding within Thailand, and to support the artists and their families.

Voices of Burma aims to raise awareness about the refugees and provide financial aid with any donations that we receive, as well as raise awareness about the current situation in Burma. The group participates in many events within the community and at Trent in order to raise awareness for the Burmese people, and are always looking for new members to join the group.

In 2009-2010, Voices of Burma had an art exhibit at Artspace and also an art sale at Haaselton's, they were apart of the Peterborough Film Festival and showed a movie speaking about the current situation in Burma. 

In 2006-07, the group sold art pieces made by Burmese migrants and refuges of all ages and sent the proceeds raised to Burmese communities to support primary schools and other educational projects.  The group also screened Beyond Rangoon, hosted an art exhibition at Sadleir House, a Hate Free Zone campaign and a concert with a Band of Owls at the Red Dog. They also contributed with fundraising efforts for the Jam for Asia concert, and the Traveling World Community Film Festival.
