Ko Nyo at our camp clinic



This is Ko Nyo at our clinic. We built is by ourselves. Roof was made from palm leaves. Wall, frame, bed and everything else from bamboo. Bamboo is abundant in the area. I was wondering how would we live or survive without bamboo. We ate bamboo shoot. We used bamboo as frame, wall, floor to build. This camp again was moved after less than one year.

Ko Nyo and his family came to the US. They stayed with me for 6 months and moved on as any immigrants. Now, he is running a restaurant in Columbia, SC. Here is his restaurant. Lwin Mar Aye, his wife is a great chef.
