One resident, Hello Kweh, said it best:
“To CPI and workers.
Thank you for your concern for us. In return, we have nothing to give you, but we pray to God. May God bless you always. By KHWA (Karen Health and Welfare Assoc.) residents.”
Clear Path International, www.cpi.org, is the sole financial provider for the 17 men and 1 woman at the Care Villa home at Mae La refugee camp. some of these people do not have family, all of them are overcoming handicaps.
i wish to tell you how thankful i’ve been to work with them. it’s a reminder as to how prescious this life is and how it can drastically change within a moment. humbling doesn’t say it best. life changing is more like it. love, missy <3

We know them as group homes, here they’re still called orphanages. You wouldn’t know it without being told, but these children are without parents or family to care for them.
They love each other so much. It is obvious by the way they take care of each other and encourage each other. While one girl was sick, an older girl rubbed her head and belly with a cool wash cloth. The guys entertain by teaching me and each other their new dance moves.
maybe a couple will make it home with me (some day).

the beauty cannot be overrated once you enter the refugee camp.

tip 1) use a 100% rubber foot from Handicap Int’l.
they’re great in the fields ; ) also, no heel last = no need for a shoe!
