Wooden barrack in Site II during the 70s-80s, which used to be a transit camp for refugees who were waiting to depart for the US. This type of housing is the best in the Camp comparing to others.


the same areas during the 90s. The kitchen, eating spaces on ground floor  were converted to living areas to accomodate more people .

these barracks were once abandoned during the mid 80s, .By the late 80s and early 90s they were harshly repaired to meet the increasingly housing demand by the new wave of refugees


the same barracks abandoned today

I did this poster, which was placed right  in front of UN staff  house, for UN Tech. Office. As you can see in the photo, the poster was to commemorate UNHCR 40 anniversary. In the background is the building where UN staff was living

The small wooden bridge crossing a small stream leading to UN office complex. The white road sign on the left is one of my work in Tech Ofiice. It said : Foot Bridge.
