A large community of Muslim refugees from Myanmar have made Mae Sot, Thailand their home. The slums host hundreds of both legal and illegal migrant workers. The city is located 5km from Myanmar and is easily accessed via the Peace Bridge. The Burmese Migrant Workers’ Education Committee works to setup small schools for the children of migrant workers. Often the children go to school in the evening as they work in factories and collecting rubbish in the daytime.
