The Phamile Foundation – News Update 4/5/13 #2

We visited the border where over 200,000 refugees line the borders of Thailand and Burma, held in so called refugee camps (no tents, no medicine, no official help of any kind) that can barely manage to provide for basic necessities. Tens of thousands of these refugees are children – children who have been traumatized by the ongoing war waged by the Burmese military dictatorship against the regions hill-tribes. Here they end up in the camps or living illegally along the border regions, at huge risk of being taken into the sex trade, suffering malnourishment and other ongoing threats to their well being and lives.
