Partners staff and volunteers work closely with Burma's refugees and internally displaced people. One particular community along the Thai-Burma border is Shan Town*.

At Shan Town, Partners has built health clinics, provided emergency supplies to families, built dorms for orphans, and trained teachers and health care workers.

In November 2008, we traveled to a school of 700 students in Shan Town. We asked the children to help us understand their life experiences. Though we only had acrylic paint and paper, the results were incredible.

We were so moved by their hope and courage, we knew their stories had to be shared with the world.

Thanks to the generosity of friends in Midland, Texas, funds were provided to develop their artistic works into an experiential war zone exhibit.

Get intimately acquainted with Burma's children of war. Their stories will move and inspire you.
