The Htoo family, originally from Burma and residing in Georgia, embarked on a new journey in 2007 through the United States refugee resettlement program. Their story is a testament to the resilience and determination of refugees worldwide. The Htoo family's experiences in Burma, Thai refugee camps, and their new home in the US are not unique but rather representative of the challenges faced by many refugees. This book offers a comprehensive account of the Sgaw Karen people, their history, culture, and traditions. It delves into the Htoo family's personal experiences, including their home and school learning experiences, and their relationship with the author as a teacher, collaborator, and friend. Through vivid narratives and insightful analysis, the book sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of the Sgaw Karen community and provides valuable insights into the complexities of refugee resettlement.
