Photos of Refugee Life Taken by Karen Refugees. I’ve lived in Thailand since 2000. I am happy here because there is electricity, clean water, latrines, and health care. Here I do not have to worry about forced labor. However I also miss home. I miss fresh natural vegetables. I miss the shade of our beautiful trees and the cool springs of Karen State. Most of all I miss my mother and sister. CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY PHOTOS. Saw Say Ler Wah Kyar. Mae La Refugee Camp. A 30-year old non-profit 501c3.

Photos of Refugee Life Taken by Karen Refugees. Unfortunately we were not able to build a new school and I could not continue my education in the village. I came to Thailand where I could finish my primary education in the refugee camp. After I graduated I attended the Further Study Program, the refugee camp’s version of college. I then returned to Karen State to teach. I found a good job in a large school with 130 students and 13 teachers. CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY PHOTOS. Saw Say Ler Wah Kyar. UNSEENWORLD ...

Photos of Refugee Life Taken by Karen Refugees. I was born and raised in refugee camps. When my parents first fled Burma they lived in a refugee camp where they were never allowed to leave. There was no way for them to earn money. They moved to Mae La Oon camp, where 10,000 people live, in hope of finding work. I was born soon after they moved. CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY PHOTOS.

Photos of Refugee Life Taken by Karen Refugees. Saw Say Ler Wah Kyar. Everyone should have human rights. In Burma, the government took away our rights to live in peace, earn a living and raise our families. We have little health care, few schools and no safety. Like so many others, I fled Karen State when the military destroyed my village. They killed many people, even those working in the fields. CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY PHOTOS. Saw Say Ler Wah Kyar.

UNSEEN MAE LA: HOW IT WORKS

http://maelaprocess.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-it-works.html

Photos of Refugee Life Taken by Karen Refugees. To create and publish their own media. We created the class blog together. Some students chose to use silhouettes and pseudonyms to protect their identities. As young leaders, some students were allowed to leave the camp. Their photos reflect life in Mae La refugee camp and their lives outside the camp. An innovative arts project for Karen refugees from Burma to describe their lives through photography.

Photos of Refugee Life Taken by Karen Refugees. I came to Thailand in 1983 when I was two years old. We fled after my grandfather was killed by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), the official name of the Burmese government. My grandfather was a Baptist missionary and worked with many different ethnic groups throughout Burma. The government killed him because they suspected he was a spy. I have never returned to Burma.
