Helping the Refugees in Noh Bo
Yesterday was a good day and very fulfilling as we were able to deliver two truckloads of rice to the makeshift Karen refugee camp that has been set up at the Noh Bo Buddhist Monastery.
The UN had been there earlier to set up tents for some of the 1500 displaced Karen people, mainly women and children who fled the escalating series of attacks from the Burmese Army-allied DKBA this week. Many are finding shelter inside the temple, as well as under houses, and in the tents. Still, more shelter is needed, and it is unclear how long the Thai military will allow the refugees to remain in Thailand. However, thankfully, the Thai officials have been very helpful and have facilitated the process of recieving aid from other NGOs and the UN. If you are interested in donating to the relief effort, let me know and we can help funnel your donation to the right people. We leave Noh Bo today back to Mae Sot. Pray for peace between the oppressive Burmese regime and the oppressed Karen people. THANKS, ADAM
