KAREN REFUGEE COMMITTEE The Karen Refugee Committee, NEWSLETTER & MONTHLY REPORT February, 2018 1

Dear All Readers, Karen Refugee Committee Newsletter and Activity Report February - 2018 We want to say thank you for reading our monthly newsletters. One major activity that we organized in this month is 2017 Annual Meeting for KRC and Camp Committee from seven camps, organized in Maela camp from 12-13 March 2018. The meeting reviews our works and activities, especially camps relationship to partner s organization such as NGOs, CBOs and UNHCR and Thai authorities and discussed about the challenges for coming 2018. The meeting also reviewed the issue regarding funding support for refugees in term of food, household material, health, education, and livelihood and camp management programs. It also examined the challenges in managing the camp due to shortage of staff and further funding cut as an unforeseen situation. The meeting resolute that, camp committee and population, will learn to rely on themselves for their future. KRC will continue to lead the discussion on repatriation and organize consultation with the refugees. I realize that, there are some people who want to go back but still facing challenges to provide their family needs. I would like to request to concerned organizations to look into their needs, and their respective community will find means to help for those who would like to return. It is my hope that, the readers will understand our situation and try to support and cooperate with us as we continue to journey together. Best wishes, General Secretary Karen Refugee Committee 3
