shades of grey

The more I learn about refugees, Bruma, Thailand and all that goes on here the more shades of grey I see. Spent today in the Mae La refugee camp. It's a camp of about 50, 000 people on a beautiful hillside. With layers and levels of problems.

But we wandered up and down some very steep paths to see how people live. The children were charming and people were very gentle and welcoming.

And now we're off to another big NGO dinner with people who live and work here.

And I bought a sarong today. Proceeds go to the Karen Womens Organization. Just gotta figure how to wear it.
