MGI: [repeating question in Karen] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 6 AWI: Well, um…for…for guys, you know [clear throat] uh…for day to day they’d go outside of camp and go and uh…plant corn, pick chilies, but for a woman they’d…they’d stay home and take care of kids.

MGI: [repeating question in Karen] [laughing] AWI: Um I…I don’t know. [laughing] MG: K. Did you feel safe in the camp? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yeah, um I mean I do like living in a refugee camp, but it just uh…sometimes like we you know just kinda have to live with fears I guess. Cuz you had to be afraid of the Burmese soldiers. You know they’ll kind of…will come your burn…will Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 7 come and burn the…the refugee camp cuz they do that all the time. Or sometimes we had be afraid of Burmese military and the Karen military they were fighting each other and we were…I was afraid I might get hit. So yeah. [camera clicking] MG: How did you learn about the U.S refugee program? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] [13:26] AWI: Okay, well so. Well, so…so you know I didn’t learn huh…well I so…the thing is so…when I was let’s say teenagers age. Around teenagers age um…um…the Burmese military were coming and forcing people to you know forcing people to become a potter. And they were looking for especially like…like…eighteen to seventeen years old man or woman. Both man and woman. So, you know I…me and my friend we were just really scared. We were like uh…it’s not safe to live in here anymore. Let’s just go to Thailand. Let’s just cross the border. So, yeah we decided…we went to Thailand and we stay in a city. In the city uh…it’s more like a town. It’s called The-wa-fa. We stay in that city. We stay there for a few months picking corn, chilies. [translator interrupts] AWI: You guys want to write that [laughing]? T. h.e…the wa dablu o wa. How do you spell? Wa. [laughing] Thaw. AWI continued: Yeah, we stay there for a…just a few months doing daily things. Picking chilies, planting corn. And it was nice. But then after…after um…I can’t remember the date, but the Burmese military and the Karen military were in they were in conflict…conflicts. And they were fighting each other and then that…that war went straight for three days and three nights. So, me and my friend were really scared you know because of what was going on around us. So…and a lot of people died that…in those three days and so...and everybody was running you know just running for their lives. So…so…what can I do I just kind of follow everybody where they’re going and…and me I ended up in a refugee camp and so…I guess that’s how I learned about refugee camp. MG: Okay. And how did you apply and who helped you get to the U.S? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 8 MGI: [repeating question in Karen] [cut in audio] [16:55] AWI: Well, yeah there isn’t anybody to help, but it’s not hard. It’s not a difficult process to…to come to the United States. You know, you just have to fill out an application and they’ll call your names you know. Hey, so you’re um…set to go to United States. That’s what they’ll tell you, but the thing is um…I…I did not know that you know I have to pay rent, utility bills, insurance bills. Everything you know. But in…in compared to refugees’ camp or Burma you don’t pay anything. You have a house you stay, you do what you want. Nothing is…you don’t have to pay anything basically, but here its different you know. In order you know in order to let you…you had to pay rent and things and stuff. So, yeah. MG: K. Tell me about coming to the United States? When did you first arrive here? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Um… I…I got here on June 9, 2008. MG: And where did you first come…come to?

We don’t know what to do or where to go. Or we don’t like…like clueless. So, no we didn’t like the first month. MG: Okay. Did you receive any help from the U.S. or religious organizations when you got here? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 9 MGI: [repeating question in Karen] [19:18] AWI: Yes. Um…so when I first arrive in the United States I…I did went…went to…to the church for a few months I guess. And like during Christmas they will come buy my child like a shoes, like boots and stuff. So yes we…I did received help from the religious church. [19:34] MG: Okay. Did you get help from any other organizations? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yes. There is another organization called IRC and that’s where we came like, we had to go through their office…not office, but we had to go through like, applications and stuff. And they were the ones that bring us here you know. And they had to take care of us for three months. There yeah, there was like their promise or something. So we receive plates and blankets, and kind of a lot of stuff from them. Yeah. MG: Okay. [clear throat] How long have you lived in Cache Valley? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: About six and a half years. MG: K. And what do you do here?

I kinda, but I already quit that job, but now because I have a little child to take care of. I can just stay home. Yeah. MG: Okay. What’s it like for you and your family here? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 10 MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: I guess we um…Well, we are surviving here day to day and that is good. We get pay you know my dad. My husband. [laughing] He works at JBS and um…then we get pay every two weeks. We use those money to pay rent to pay utility bills. It’s all gone. We get it again. It just kinda go in circles. Yeah.

What would make you feel more included in the community? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: [laughing] Uh, I don’t know. [22:51] MG: Okay. Tell me about your home her. How’s it different from your home in your birth country? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] [23:32] AWI: Um, so it’s really different. Um, here um…I mean back in Burma you know where my birth country is. You kinda live. The only thing you…you have to fear is that the Burmese military. Other than that you don’t actually have any worries. You don’t have to worry about rent, bills, or food. You can kinda go out work. You get pay. You can either by like I know small stuff…just kinda go day to day without a lot of worries. But here you kinda have to kinda think of everything. Think of: Oh, I need to have this much to pay for my rent. So…here you just kind Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 11 of think…think of financial situation here you know. You can’t you…just have to keep in mind that it’s different from your home here. So, I guess that’s the difference. [24:40] MG: Okay. Can you tell me your experiences with your landlord? MGI: [repeating question in Karen] [25:06] AWI: Well, this well…the current manager well…call him manager because she’s the manager of the land. She’s really nice you know. Let’s say something wrong with our house we…I can…I can go there and be like: Hey something is wrong. But although I don’t speak English she will come and look at it herself and that’s really nice, but the previous manager kinda not that nice. So good experience. MG: Okay. What would you like people in Logan to know about you, your family, or your ethnic group: MGI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: [laughing] I don’t know. [laughing] MG: Mmm…let’s see.

BHI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yeah, just for decorations and we keep that for Christmas. [laughing] BH: I bet they look nice. Um… AWI: No go ahead. BH: That actually reminds me of a question I had. So you…you mentioned that you’re Buddhist and in the camps though, you celebrate Christmas. Is that a holiday that um…Buddhist’s normally celebrate? I just wonder. BHI: [repeating question in Karen] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 14 [32:54] AWI: Yes, uh…like I say I was a Buddhist back in refugee camp, but I have friends who are not Buddhist you know. They celebrate Christmas and I don’t want to be stranger or anything. So, just kind of you know were friends. So, yeah Christmas. So, that’s how that happened. BH: Okay. And you still celebrate Christmas? BHI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yes, and it’s still for the same reasons. Have friends heres and sometimes they come and celebrate. Um… likes with Karen um…I don’t know. Well, she hasn’t talked this, but it’s from my…no…never mind…no. [signaled to go ahead] Um…so Karen I think every Christmas like, especially with their Christianity they…they will go house to house and play music with their guitar. Like a group of Karen…like big group and they will come to your door and sing. So, it’s just kind of…does…did you guys do that? Or? [MG, BH, and WV answer at once] MG: Caroling. MG, BH, and WV: Yeah. BH: Christmas caroling. WV: Caroling. AWI: Oh really, okay. So that’s not strange yeah. BH: Mmm…hmm. Usually, just without a guitar. AWI: But it’s with a guitar. Yeah. BHI: It’s with a guitar. Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 15 AWI: Yeah. BH: So, why a guitar? AWI: Well, so you can sing better. You can follow the tone or something. [laughing] I don’t know. I’ve just never been to one. Um, like back…back in refugee camp you know we had uh…we had people like Christianity there they come to our house they and help us. So, it’s only polite for me to you know help them back. So, yup. MG: K. BH: Um…sorry I’m just really curious about this guitar. Um… do people have guitars in the refugee camps? AWI: I can answer that. Yes. BH: Was there a lot of music there? AWI: Yes. BH: Like what kinds of music? Was it like um…popular songs? I don’t know like maybe American songs? Or was it like its traditional? AWI: It’s mostly either Burmese songs or Karen songs. Like the...you know, like the top ten songs. [conversation in Karen] I’m doing it. Well, yeah they…we have lot of songs and going back to the Christmas thing you like know, like in a refugee camp when there’s like people going to house to house to sings there’s just gonna be lots of people kinda follow up. You know kinda join the group to do the same thing. So. [laughing] BH: It sounds like a good time. AWI: Right. [36:10] Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 16 WV: Um…I’m just kind of curious who is the man in that photo up on the wall in that chair? AWI: On the left? WV: Uh…uh, the bigger one. The guy in the…what looks like brown robes. WVI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Its what his name is Thaminya. He is a…a… a highly…everybody knows person in Buddhist religions. WV: Okay. AWI: And he’s… he’s the monk in Burma and he’s rally um…you know. But there’s just I guess, so many things that happen to him that are miracle or something. Like, I don’t know if this trues…truth or not it maybe a myth, but like when he die. Well, he’s dead already and, but his…his fingernails are still growing. So, it’s just weird. I guess you know he just kind of have supernatural power or something and may people Buddhist…. Yeah. And it is true right. This particular person you know he…he’s still in Burma although he died many, many years ago. His corpse is still there and it’s not being… how do I say it? BH: It’s not decomposed? AWI: It’s not decomposing. Yeah. It’s not. WV: Did they preserve it? Like, did they do anything to…? AWI: Like they probably. Nobody knows whether they preserve it or not. It’s under military control and nobody knows. Like government control. I think they probably did. Come on. [laughing] K. Yeah. [38:04] BH: I have one more question. This is something I’ve been curious about cuz it sounds like in the refugee camps um…you can meet with a lot of people. There are a lot of people around. So, um…did you have a lot of friends in the refugee camp? People that you would meet with a lot? Cache Valley Refugee Oral History Project: Aye Win Page 17 BHI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yes. I had lots of friends in refugee camp. Yeah. BH: Are there any that came here to the United States as well? BHI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yes, but they’re not in Utah. They’re in different states within the Unites States. So. BH: Are you able to keep in contact with any of them? BHI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yes, um…we kinda...we kinda call each other you know. Friends to friends just like everybody would do. But, mostly what we all concern about: How…how is life doing over there? But, everybody wants to go back home. So, basically. BH: Back home to Burma? BHI: [repeating question in Karen] AWI: Yes, to Burma. But, in Karen State particularly. To that state, yeah. BH: Cool. Thank you. AWI: Good? MG: Thank you. AW: Thank you. [End recording-39:52]
