Dear All Readers, Karen Refugee Committee Newsletter and Activity Report May - 2017 On 28 th of April, KRC Chairperson and some camp representatives organized trip to Hpa-An and met with Karen s religious leaders. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss about the refugee future. Based on current situation, three conditions have been agreed to follow after the meeting. (1) To study and analyse the situation of refugees (2) To prepare for emergency needs for refugees and (3) To plan for long term solution for the returnees. On 3-30 April, KRC and KNU proposed training related to livelihood program for the refugees and preparedness for their future when they return. The training was proposed to Mae Fah Luang Foundation. The trainees include KRC s representatives, KNU district representatives, CIDKP representatives, representatives from seven camps, religious leaders and teachers, and village representatives. The total number participated is 35 in total. The training was provided by Mae Fah Luang Foundation and supported by Karen National Union, Thai government, Burmese government, Committee for Refugee Return, and Karen Refugee Committee. Based on reflection, the training is very helpful and benefit to the trainees. Not only that, the skills and knowledge provided during the training will continue serve benefit to people in refugee camps and other respective areas. We would like to thank Thai government, Burmese government, especially the Karen State government, KNU Central, especially Dooplaya district officers and Mae Fah Luang Foundation and its 12 staffs, for your support to make this training successful.
