My Story
I am from a large village of over 800 people. We used to have wonderful concerts. We would build a stage in the center of the village and many people would sing. I sang religious and love songs. Many people would come to watch us perform.
In 2006, Burmese soldiers burned down my village. We fled into the jungle. Some people eventually went back to rebuild their homes but my family was too afraid. My parents moved to a new village and I came to the refugee camp. I still sing.
