maesot region population is about 20 thousand 
maesot population 60% is burma person 
most of nonregistered migrant. ( unlawful sojourn )
some people get 'employment permission visa' 
official refugee village are 9. and 13 thousand person are burma refugee in thailand and burma of border area.
yet minority group of karen people are fight whit government 

MaelaCamp is one of the refugeecamp.
Meala is largest in more than 50 refugee camps. It is forbidden to build permanent house
In refugeecamp, Thailand government do not permission to farming.
They live forever in 5km radius of the refugeecamp.
They live through the distribution to NGO's relief goods and rice.
Some of the small number of people received support from the Thai government to work in Textile Factory 
April this year discontinued the money support.

There are orphanage, disabled residence, colleges and treatment facilities in Refugee camp.
If cut off support of NGO, it will hard to keep these institude because they can't pay teacher's salary and can't cure injured.
In this poor surroundings, children do not recieve enough educational support.
The friends who we met in CDC and LMTC, they show fervor to more education.
Someone said 'I want support children. They have to learn more'.
and someone said 'I want travel all world someday'
but they hard to get out camp and meala camp refugees sphere of activity is just 5km.

They need to expanded education and experience than now.



This is part of one karen refugee's diary.

My daily life in Karen refugee camp is a simple life because I don’t have any base to stand by my feet. It is boring. I don’t have the new hope and 

general knowledge interesting in life.
On weekend, Saturday I visit my friends and talk together why we have to become refugees and live in the barbed camp like the animals in the 

zoo that longing for their original habitations but they can do nothing with it. And it is also like the prisoners who did the very big and extremely 

crimes until they have to remain in the large prison in all the days of their lives. I don’t understand this happening.
