These are juniors at KKBBSC (Karen Kahoolawe Baptist Bible School & College in the Mae La Refugee camp. They are all Karen peoples from Burma living and studying in the camp. While many have been in the camp several years, the energy and beauty that these youth introduce into the camp life is irrepressible. Every morning they emerge from little thatch dwellings (lean bare dwellings with the meanest cleaning grooming facility) looking like a million dollars -always downed in their traditional ethnic dress. They reminded me of a Proverb in Scripture “sons grown up in their youth, daughters polished after the similitude of a palace”. Here in this remote camp on the edge of nowhere one stumbles upon rare grace and maturity. I looked forward to this class because they were so spirited and totally present.
