Myanmar Refugees

500+ refugees settled in the Northern Kentucky area

Why Am I Here?

I am here because I have experienced religious persecution, and I am unable to speak out for democracy in a nation controlled by the military. I settled in the area after staying in the home of my own people who previously settled here.
What Do I Do?

I may pack fresh-cut vegetables for distribution to grocery stores, work in a warehouse, be a medical doctor, or own a grocery store.
What Do I Believe?

I practice Buddhism, the national religion, but others are Muslim. Many refugees in this area are Christians who attend Calvary Chin Baptist Church or Zion Chin Baptist Church in Florence, Kentucky.
What Are My Needs?

I have a need to know peace and love far from the physical and psychological persecution I experienced in Myanmar.
