This photographic exhibition, by Hong Kong photographer, will feature 50 – 80 pieces of black, white, and color prints.
The exhibition is a realistic documentation of Burmese migrant children and students living at the border between Myanmar and Thailand. They live in the Heavenly Home Orphanage and Love and Care Learning Centers in the border town of Mae Sot, Tak province.
The political unrest over the decades has resulted in many Myanmar people leaving their homelands to seek refuge in Thailand. In search of better lives and hopes for their children, some reside in refugee camps at the border and others send their children to migrant learning centers in Thailand to pursue their education. Education is basic in most societies but to these Myanmar people and their children, access to education is sadly, a luxury.
Each child has his or her story to tell.
Each day, they strive for a better tomorrow.
Education is the key for hope as they learn to become self-sufficient.
As Myanmar opens its doors to the world, efforts to make education available to these migrant children have improved. But it will take time for changes to evolve and be translated to tangible benefits for these children who are living at the border.
