Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

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.
