Thankyou for visiting!!

We are Richard Berkfield and Angela Nelson and we would like to let you know of our work with the Karen ethnic group along the Thai-Burma (Myanmar) border. We arrived here in Thailand in March 2003. We are working independently, but collaboratively with the Karen Youth Organization (KYO) and the Karen Women's Organization (KWO).

We are extremely happy to be sharing our project with you. Whether you are a donor or just an interested visitor, we are thankful that you are taking the time to explore our site. Please take a look into our last six months along the Thailand-Burma border. More importantly though, we hope you will learn something about the refugees from Burma and the desperate situation within their homeland.

At the moment, there is a lot of international media attention regarding the imprisonment of the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, by the Military Dictatorship of Burma. Now is a critical time for the future of the country in it's struggle for democracy.

Please take the time to look at our pictures, and let them tell you more than our words ever could. We hope you are compelled to return to our site to continue to learn more about the situation along the border and within Burma. We have added links to other sites with more in-depth information. Please let us know how you feel about the site and our project.
