United by Hardships

Today the students visiting from Korea headed out. Last night the students organized a talent show in the school to see off their new friends. It was amazing. The students are more talented than I'll ever be.

At the end of the event the Korean students shared how they feel very much apart of the Burmese student's struggle and there was a lot tears. They lit candles and placed them in a line in front of the school to represent unity between the students.

It's interesting to think that 3 generations ago Korea was in much in much the same situation as present-day Burma. The students, although from very different cultures and places, connected through the hardships they each face and have faced.
