Karen Refugee Committee Newsletter and Activity Report July - 2018 Introduction This month, we are facing one of the natural disasters which are flood everywhere and have caused many problems and difficulties. In some part of the world, it is not about flooding, but wildfire, which the lives of many people and damaging unaccountable properties. However, the good news for us in term of international politics which has drawn a lot of attention is the making of new chapter between US and North Korea who have been verbally waging war towards one another and is now getting closer to each other in relationship. We appreciate the courage they show to the world that peace is possible and especially to the young leader of North Korea. Looking at our side, refugee issue is still having not been solved. We continue to face donor s reduction each year and this year in August, The Border Consortium which have been providing support to refugee and camp committee, will further reduce 60% in camp administrative cost and another 70% in Extra Needs, by the end of December. There is no promise of the continuous funding in coming 2019. This creates a big concern for us in managing role as camp management program is our apart of main work to make sure the camp is running smoothly. However, during the 26 th stakeholder meeting in Maela camp, TBC promised to find way to help solve the problem, which makes us feel relieved again. Due to the refugee crisis in other part of the world, funding for refugee needs in Thailand has decreased immensely affecting our administrative supports. We want to thank UNHCR and INGOs for continuing the work to make sure the refugees are still taking care of till they can go home. Let s us make use of our available resources, understanding and supporting one another as we prepare for our future. Best wishes, General Secretary Karen Refugee Committee 3
