Shu Paw

My name is Shu Paw. I moved to the refugee Mae La Oo in 2000, because in Myanmar there were a lot of terrible things happening to us. In Mae La Camp we had a place to live and foods to eat. It was a better opportunity for us and we were happy. Once a year we would celebrate Christmas Day and we would sing to each houses. The teenagers they would go in separate directions than adults and, since we did not have cars, we walked. Later we would all gathered together and eat. The foods we ate were rice, spicy paste and anything else we could find. We also celebrated New Years Day. I moved to America in 2013.
