Refugee Update

Our newest refugees come from a refugee camp in Thailand, though they are Burmese people. From the refugee camp in Thailand, one family initially went to New Jersey and the other to Massachusetts. And then on October 10th, after a long train ride and then a bus ride, they arrived in Appleton. They currently are living in Oshkosh.
Both of these families are related to Hsar Say Paw (who is Moo Khu Htoo’s wife.) Mu Yen Pen is Has Say Paw’s sister. Her husband is Kyaw Zaw Wim. The children are Lay Paw Wah, their daughter, and Hser Htee Soe, their son.
April Paw is Hsar Say Paw’s niece. April’s husband is Poe Thu Thu. Their daughter is Lucy Poe.
On Labor Day, another of Hsar Say Paw’s sisters arrived from Texas. Here name is Lah Nwee Paw. She lives in Neenah and is currently employed at Little Miracles Child Care.
Our new families are very friendly! They are getting to know our church as well as the Fox Cities community. Both Poe Thu Thu and Kyaw Zaw Wim are working (the both helped out at the Tree Farm clearing trails a few weeks back.) Make sure to say “hi” to them and welcome them in the name of Christ.
