FilmAid in Thailand
Thailand Project to Help Burmese Refugees
In September 2009 FilmAid completed a 3 month pilot project in Thailand, which is host to approximately 150,000 registered refugees living along its western border with Burma. With support from The Co-operative (based in the United Kingdom) and the Dutch educational NGO, ZOA Refugee Care, FilmAid worked with refugees to produce three films addressing the issues of alcohol, drugs and HIV/AIDS within the refugee community. These films were made by Pwo Karen, Skaw Karen and Burmese PVP groups respectively and will be screening in workshop environments within the sheltered refugee and local communities. We are in the process of seeking funding to continue this vital program.
