My name is Saw Eh Kler. I have 2 brothers and no sister. I am the smallest son. I am 16 years old and this year I am in grade 7. I study at No 3 High School in Mae La Refugee Camp.
My parents and brothers live in mountaineous village in Myanmar. They are karen and they are always attacked by the Burmese soldiers. They are poor and they cannot support me to study. I miss my family so much because we have been apart for 5 years already. I want to visit them them, but it is so far and dangerous because of the Burmese army camps on the way.
During the holidays, I will learn guitar because playing it makes me feel better when I am homesick.
Please give my love to your family. I thank you so much for your help and kindness. - Feb 2007 |
