King Zero visits the people on the rubbish dump of Mae Sot. Along the Thai-Burma border the rubbish dump of Mae Sot, Thailand has become a refuge for many migrant families from Burma. Approximately sixteen houses, constructed from bamboo and plastic materials currently exist at the rubbish dump. Living conditions are bleak for many families [...]

Our Relocation Center for the people on the Rubbish Dump of Mae Sot is running well so far. Around 15 people, most of them children, are going to school and living in one of our two, newly built houses. Adults are trained in sewing, free computer classes are offered for all.

Imagine a life were you would choose to rather live on a garbage dump in a foreign country than in your home village in your own country.

We are happy to show you the pictures of our building up the Relocation Learning Center for the people from the rubbish dump of Mae Sot. We have finished the learning center and started the sewing, English and computer classes there.
