| 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.
