Our Karen refugee family from Burma is doing great!  Ah Yong (brother at the far right in the picture) has a wife and 3 children still in the refugee camp whom the Refugee Office is working to bring here to Lincoln. Both families will live in the apartment we have set up for them. We are still looking for a full-sized bed to be donated for them.  If anyone has one they would like to donate, please contact Corey and Jennifer Cashmere at 476.9255 or jennifercashmere@yahoo.com. 

   For more information on our refugee family please visit http://horizonsrefugee.wetpaint.com.  Volunteers who have been working with the family have posted updates and comments at this site. We have added to this site the history of Burma as well as tips for interacting with Karen people from Burma, and needs the family still has if you wish to donate.
