Episode 32: Refugee children in Kachin State

As the result of fighting in Kachin state, there are hundreds of refugee children who cannot go to school. 

This week Doh Athan asked people how they believed these children should be educated, what difficulties they are facing and whether or not support for them is sufficient. 

Today’s two-part episode, recorded in both Jinghpaw and Myanmar, also explains the current struggles refugees face due to conflict.
