Living in Mae Sot.
- Andrew Owens/Wendy Gill
- When we visited the Thai/Burma Area in 2005 we were touched by the plight of the Karen people of Burma. Following other visits we realised that it is the whole Burmese population that is living in fear of the Burmese military regime.For the local Burmese migrant, life is pretty much the same; exploitation by the Thai businesses, harassment by the local police and general poverty. We support local organisations to help individuals and schools in both the MaeSot area and in the Karen State of Burma.

Resources for SEN Learning Centre
Recently, Wendy went shopping for resources for the SEN Learning Centre. Wendy has been working on programmes for the SEN children that have been identified in the migrant community. She went to the local toy shop and bought many toys etc that could be used by the children with disabilities. Many of these children have no access to education and spend all their days sitting or laying on the floor of their simple houses. Some of the resources will be used at the Learning Centre but others will be used during Home visits.
