I got to the meeting and back without any further head injuries. The meeting was with a commmunity made up of mainly migrants from Burma who have escaped their homeland because of war and injustice, only to find themselves in trouble with authorities here. People have been arrested, ways of earning a living are few. Many find themselves in day labour jobs on large industrial farms spraying dangerous chemicals or otherwise working under difficult conditions. Our partner here is working with an network of NGO's to help this community gain some kind of stability and legal status.
