3 Dear All Readers, Karen Refugee Committee Newsletter and Activity Report August This month, August 12 is a special day, the 85 th birthday of present King s mother and it is also recognized and celebrated as Mother s Day and therefore, it is celebrated in all the refugees camps. It is also the day recognized by ethnic Karen as Martyr Day and many refugees joined the celebration in Karen State, Burma. In Arakan State, Burma, since the beginning of this month, there has been communal violence and till now, more than 400 people reported being killed and hundreds of thousand being displaced. The displacement is really sad news. The recent outbreak of H1N1 disease has created a great worry for the Refugee committee as the outbreak might spread into refugee camps. There have been reports to us that, more than hundred people admitted to hospital from two camps, Mae Ra Moe and Mae La Oo, however, the disease is not confirmed whether it is related to H1N1 or not. Therefore, there have been temporary closures of the camp for prevention purpose. On the other hand, the good news is that, on 10 th August, ADRA and KED representatives went to Naypyidaw and discussed about the Vocational Training program and the government has agreed to recognize the certificate of the livelihood program trainers in refugee camps. We would like to thank ADRA and KED for finding way for the refugees and also to other organizations for support us till now. With gratitude, General Secretary Karen Refugee Committee 3
