Happy Birthday Mum

Happy mother's day, 12th August every year is mother's day in Thailand. it is queen's birthday :)
normally mother will receive white flower (jasmine flower) from her son and daughter. people will go to temple together with family to make merit and bring mum to treat dinner. I saw many many families went to restaurant with their mum and you can see every food store is full tonight. long long times ago, my former primary school will organized mother's day for us, school will invite our mum to school and we make jasmine flower like garland. we always sing mother's song together with other friends before give flower to our mum. I love this ceremony and I think very important for us. even though this is not Akha traditional ceremony, but we are happy to show our respect to our mum as others. I was very shy when I was young to give flower or show respect to her by action.
I came out from home almost 12 years, I found that every mother's day I miss her so much and of course not only mother's day that I miss her, but every mother's day you will see other families together and that make me miss my mummy more.
this year I asked my brother help us cook mum's favorite food for dinner :).
ahma, I miss you :(

Happy mother's day everyone ! I wish you have very good and warm family forever.. always treat your love ones as much as you can before you don't have that chance. mum always stand by you...

Today's dream is tomorrow's reality

I wished I can help children, I wished I can create smile to children, I wished people hear dream of children and I wished to be contractor to build a bridge for them to reach their dream " one day"
From today , students at Maenamkhun School will have enough classroom and stable building.
Thank you our partners (organization) who has been working hard to create and provide important source for education for those students. (Child's Dream Foundation, Swiss Embassy (Bangkok), Maenamkhun School and government parts)
Moreover very important persons to complete this project are villagers. Thanks again for being such a great supporter. as a former student and representative of all students from Maenamkhun School would like to tell all sponsor that " all of you are who had built stable bridge for us" from now on we will study hard and hope to see all of you come back to visit us in the future.

Why does the sun shine not over?

While other people are sleeping but why I do not have home to sleep, while others are smile but why I could not smile, while others are study but why I do not have school to attend and while others have parents but where is my parents ????
..............................................................................
Wow...wow...I see the mist, I see nice view, I see nice moutain and I see nice village :) ......
NO! This is the camp........Wow!..The camp?
So beautiful camp!...but for whom?...For refugees....Haaaaah..Refugees? where are they from? .....This is not what I see from outside here any more...... This is the Biggest Refugee Camp....Called Maela Camp in Tak Province, Thailand....
Mostly Burmese refugees...oh..no..they do not want us name them as Burmese....They are from independent state in Burma Country.... 80% of people in the camp are Karen tribe from Karen state and the rest are from others....but how many people in this camp? 100 people..NO...1000 people....No.... but there are more than 50 Thousand people...
Why they have to come here? Because situation in Burma is unsecure. They have to leave their house, their home land and their dreams...
Do they want to sleep well as you? Of course! Do they like to smile? Of course! Do they want to study? Of course! and Do they want to have parents? Of course! But where? How?......

Do they wantto go back to their home land? Of course! But better not go (now) ....may be one day in the future :(

Situation in Burma still worse and need help from us.....Please do not look down of them and please do not leave them alone...

We are same humans, born on the same earth, alive on the same reign and why we have to exploit each others..?

and could you tell me.....why?


Does the sun shine not over?
