A couple of months ago, Thai government put the country in a new, partial lockdown, whose restrictions will likely be maintained until at least the end of August. The logical aftermath: it was hard, extremely hard, to physically make the project a reality.
Moreover, the administrative authority created new complications regarding the permanent clinic, whose work faced troubles and obstacles: the operators now are required to be Thai, but they obviously need to speak Burmese, among other characteristics.
So, what could we do?
If in Thailand our efforts looked to bring less benefits than what we expected, we decided to shift our focus on the other side of the border. And here we are working: our doctors and nurses on the Burmese side are helping refugees, sent back by the Thai authorities, by providing them with food and medicine they need.
A massive getaway from Myanmar and new Coronavirus outbreaks: this is a double emergency and we are going to double our work.
