Wefre just about to head into our last week teaching photography at Thoo Mweh Khee and we have had the most amazing time already. The kids are loving photography and after a little lesson in composition, wefve found the quality of images keeps getting better. The school really came to life last week when 500 people turned up for a religious festival that lasted 3 days. The music never seemed to stop, they even started blasting the soundsystem at 7am every morning! Some people walked for 2 days to attend, so it was a pretty big thing around here. Who better to photograph it that our class, they had a ball being photojournalists for the day! On the 16th it was Karen New Year (the Karen are an ethnic group from Burma) and we were lucky enough to attend the celebrations at Mae La refugee camp. The camp is home to over 60,000 refugees and the numbers are rising fast. At least 10,000 people made their way down to the football field to start the celebrations at 7am. It was a pretty exciting adventure for Josh and I, with a 2 hour drive in the darkness and fog to the camp in the mountains. Josh was even invited on stage as a guest NGO, but really it was because he was one of only 10 Westerners there! The dancing was incredible and once the fog lifted, the mountains appeared, creating a stunning photographic backdrop. After a weekend of catching up with people in Mae Sot, we are now finalising the teaching for this week and are super excited about starting work on the art side of the project in Mae Sot straight after Christmas. We hope youfre all winding down for some family Christmas time. Wefre planning spending the day with the Children at Thoo Mweh Khee and the night with a random mix of volunteers at the eDrop Outf bar!
