12015-11-11T22:38:17-08:00What's working for Burmese refugees?13plain2015-11-29T21:26:04-08:00Thousands of Burmese (people of Myanmar) refugees find themselves living as near prisoners in Thai refugee camps. They are not allowed to leave at will. They have little opportunity to find meaningful work and their educational opportunities are severely limited.
Many have spent their entire lifetime in these camps under great stress and often fear. They depend on outside aid for their food, basic health and education. The Border Consortium, ZOA Thailand, and other UN aid agencies coordinate the humanitarian services these people need for their survival as well as providing for their children's education. As limited as the opportunities are for the inhabitants of the camps and as restricted as their daily lives are, many feel that they are better off being there than in their home country.
