| Illegal Logging on Thai-Burma Border |
During a project to provide education and basic needs to Karen
refugee located at a UN camp along the Thai-Burma border we walked
across a startling discovery. Once we arrived, we were warmly greeted by
the Thai military contingent stationed on top of the hill, in stone’s
throw distance from the first village stilt houses. Since there is no
telephone reception and electricity is only available via solar power,
with inferior batteries holding the charge for a maximum of two days,
communication with the outside world is scarce. We had our cameras ready
for pictures and video of the warm people, however we saw more than we
thought we would.
