By Susan Tileston | Director and project leader MY STORY photo project
In January we met with our project participants in Mae Sot. Sadly, we learned that several of the women were ill and not able to attend our first meeting. We also learned that the women's Health House was in the process of moving to a location about 3 kilometers outside of town. We have not been able to find out exacty what the health issues are with these 6 women. They receive their medications regularly and are checked by a doctor once a month. Communication is not always clear because my Burmese language skills are minimal at best.
After consulting with staff at the sponsoring organization, we asve decided to delay this photo workshop until March 15. This will give everyone time to settle in and, most importantly, to get well. We are also looking to hire a Burmese/English translator to help with communications.
Thank you again for your support and your patience!
