  • 30 APRIL 2013 - MAHACHAI, SAMUT SAKHON, THAILAND:   A Burmese worker with thanaka powder on her face repairs a fishing net in the port of Mahachai, Samut Sakhon province, Thailand. The Thai fishing industry is heavily reliant on Burmese and Cambodian migrants. Burmese migrants crew many of the fishing boats that sail out of Samut Sakhon and staff many of the fish processing plants in Samut Sakhon, about 45 miles south of Bangkok. Migrants pay as much $700 (US) each to be smuggled from the Burmese border to Samut Sakhon for jobs that pay less than $5.00 (US) per day. There have also been reports that some Burmese workers are abused and held in slavery like conditions in the Thai fishing industry. Thanaka powder has been used by Burmese for over 2000 years for protection from the sun.         PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 04 MARCH 2014 - MAE SOT, TAK, THAILAND: A Burmese girl with traditional thanaka powder on her face at the Sky Blue School in Mae Sot. There are approximately 140 students in the Sky Blue School, north of Mae Sot. The school is next to the main landfill for Mae Sot and serves the children of the people who work in the landfill. The school relies on grants and donations from Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Reforms in Myanmar have alllowed NGOs to operate in Myanmar, as a result many NGOs are shifting resources to operations in Myanmar, leaving Burmese migrants and refugees in Thailand vulnerable. The Sky Blue School was not able to pay its teachers for three months during the current school year because money promised by a NGO wasn't delivered when the NGO started to support schools in Burma. The school got an emergency grant from the Burma Migrant Teachers' Association and has since been able to pay the teachers.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
