Arrived in 2009 From Myanmar
Languages:  English, Burmese, Karenni

Living here is not always easy, but we feel safe we don’t need to move all the time. When I was a refugee in Burma we were always moving to stay ahead of the soldiers. We didn’t have a home, everything we needed we carried on our backs. When we stopped moving house in Australia, it felt good. Wollongong is the last place I will settle.

Working at Green Connect: I like the garden, people encourage us and teach us and we grow super-hot chillies that I use in my cooking.
