Karen/Karenni Thailand Refugee clothing drive
The Karen & Karenni people are among some of the ethnic groups found in the Southeast Asian countries such as Burma, Malaysia, Laos and Thailand. Presently, the Karen & Karenni people are enduring religious persecution and an ethnic cleansing program in Eastern Burma. They have moved to Oakland and the change from their former life to living in the US is huge. Please bring clean/lightly worn clothing (especially warm winter clothing) or shoes of all sizes!
