Elder L09: Art Response (1 of 2)

Elder L09 described her journey by drawing a boat and the difficulties crossing multiple borders to arrive to the United States. “InThailand, Nong Khai refugee camp was difficult. We waited for long time for papers to cross the border and no electricity, no water. The Philippine camp was better. Had water. The officers got mad if we had too many things. Sometimes there was not enough food for the refugees, but my family lucky we didn’t eat much, and my husband could work in the camp.”
