I think this is a very touching video....I have a Karen family that I have befriended and we spend every weekend with them. Your video was great and I am very excited to show my friends it.

Nel, this is the first time I have seen any photos of Burma or have heard from someone whose family spent time in a refugee camp. Nor have I heard of anyone feeding a water buffalo! Your story has enlarged my world view. Thank you for telling your history. Good luck in school!

Dear Nel,
Thank you for sharing your story. As I watched your video I could feel the love you have for your family and friends. I think you are very brave to travel to a new country and learn a new language. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors. Many blessings!

I was so excited to find your video, Nel! I live in a fairly small town in Indiana, and recently 35 refugees from Burma have moved to our town because the refugee agency that worked with them was able to find employment for them here. Many of them are Karen and some are Chin. The community is helping with donations of furniture and other household items. Many of us are eager to learn more about life in Burma and about the Karen people.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. The video was beautifully done and was very interesting and touching. Your sweet spirit shines through it all!

Praying God's blessings for you and your family,
Deb

Hi! I am an ESL teacher from Smyrna, Tennessee, and we have a growing Karen population at my school. I loved your video - I was able to share it with my students and colleagues, and now more people have a better understanding of these incredible people. Thank you!!
