A worldwide effort to celebrate Myanmar democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s 80th birthday by collecting 80,000 video messages has achieved its goal a day early, reaching the milestone on Wednesday.

“One day before Mother’s birthday, we’ve reached 80,000 birthday wishes. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who sent in their wishes and those who helped make this possible,” said Kim Aris, Suu Kyi’s son and a leader of the Suu 80 Birthday Campaign.
