    Photos from Thailand

    There are [5] photos from Thailand

    Hide and Seek with a camera. Whenever these two young refugees saw the camera they sprinted away at top speed, but inevitably sneaked back to view every photograph. Views[677] I'm probably one of the first foreigners that this young Burmese refugee has seen in his life. Views[338] Surrounded by beautiful scenery you could, at times, be forgiven for forgetting that this is a refugee camp. But refugees aren’t allowed an income. They aren’t allowed to farm this land. To be allowed to have a market stall to sell their produce, they have to pay bribes to the officials. Views[459] This young girl and her father were approved for resettlement by the US Department of Homeland Security in 2009. Her mother is still waiting for UN refugee status, so, with her family having chosen to stay together, the daughter remains trapped in the limbo of her birth place – a refugee camp. Views[358] Calm away from the Chaos: A monastery in the refugee camp. ‘Teacher, what’s your religion?’ ‘Teacher, are you Christian?’ ‘Teacher, why don’t a lot of people in the West have a religion?’ ‘Here, we need religion even more because of our situation.’ Views[742]
