Suze B. took a trip to Thailand and volunteered at a refugee camp at the Thai/Burmese border. She stayed there for 4 months, working and teaching with refugee tribe girls. Girls that have their human and political rights refused by both the military dictatorship in Burma and the Thai government who couldn’t care less and constantly mistreats Burmese refugees. But instead just teaching them english, Suze also tried to educate the girls on gender issues and feminism, something unknown to people on that part of the world. This zine contains writings from Suze during her time in Thailand, letters she sent back home, letters of the Burmese girls and also pictures and drawings. I have spent some time in both Thailand and Burma and I’ve witnessed how these people are treated, so this zine caught my eye immediately at the library. Nevertheless, it is a good read for everyone and a small introduction to the situation in the border through the eyes of Suze.
