The Karen People in Photos
by
Carla Olsen
Opening: Tuesday,
March 2, 2010
7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
On
display are photographs of the Karen people taken along the
Thailand-Burma border. The
photographs tell
the story of the struggle for freedom of the Karen people as well as
the joy
and love they
so willingly share. Even in the midst of pain and loss, beauty
and grace are seen
in the eyes
of the Karen people.
Carla
Olsen is originally from Prince Albert and has spent years volunteering
overseas, most
recently in
Thailand. After living in a Karen village, she has a passion to
support education
and children
within the Karen community.
Raylor Emper
was born in Burma and because of the ongoing civil war, fled from his
village
along with
his family when he was a child. He has since lived in Thailand
and is currently
working for a
children's development organization, bringing hope and joy to all who
meet
him.
