Aung San Suu Kyi is now “free” but it’s a way for the Junta to hide the atrocity she still doing. Karens are one of the ethnic groups which is chase by the Burmese dictatorship and runaway to find refuge in Thailand. Here they survive as they can and for some of them lived on a mountain of rubbish where they try to find their daily 100 Baths for living by recycling what they can from the dump. And even if they dream to comeback in their country, life goes on and children born and grows in the middle of toxic emanations and the garbage. Corruption, famine it’s hard way of living but it’s still better than what they suffer in Burma.
