HOLIDAY OVER - GETTING TO WORK

So you see 3o young Burmese singing "I'm the only I" - the words on the board are in English and Burmese and the youngsters are singing at the tops of their voices. It feels better and less tiring to be doing something productive. Also we met Dr Elizabeth who is an Italian doctor and who is akin to the school business manager. We got a fuller picture of how the school is financed and how wobbly the hook is that they hang from!!

Walking back through the town, talking about how well we had got on today, we saw a lorry going past with the back packed with men and women. Thinking they were workers coming back from the factory, we paid little attention. However our Burmese companion virtually hid - he explained that the lorry was from the army and the people in the back were being taken to prison as illegal immigrants. It was a sobering thought to bring us back to earth.

So we're off to Canadian Dave's cafe for tea then to meet a man from Scotland who works in the Migrant Workers Education Organisation.
