This is a unique blog featuring some incredible photos and reflections from people living in one of the refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border.
Mae La Refugee Camp is home to over 45,000 refugees from Burma. Ethnic Karen make up 97% of the people living in Mae La. Mae La established in 1984 is home to an entire generation of people in their 20s who have lived their whole lives in refugee camps. There are 26 schools, 5 community libraries, 24 churches, 5 mosques and 4 Buddhist monasteries inside the camp. Most of Mae La is surrounded by barbed wire and residents have restricted movement outside the camp.
UNSEENWORLD is an innovative international arts project for workers and refugees to describe their lives through photography.

The blog seems to offer a realistic view of the camp and life there. For those who have visited it will act as a reminder, for those who haven’t it can help you get a good idea of life in the camp.
