Warm welcome in Phoenix after jungles, wire fences

Hey guys check this article out it's about a 29 year old Thai who grew up in a Refugee camp and is now settling in Phoenix. Read about his story!

PHOENIX, Arizona (CNN) -- "Always you have to run for your life," says Boo Htoo, who grew up in a refugee camp in Thailand just across the border from Myanmar.
Boo Htoo and his family lived at the Maela Refugee Camp before being resettled in Phoenix, Arizona.

Ethnic minorities still flee the repressive military regime in Myanmar, formerly Burma. Some 111,000 Myanmar refugees live in nine camps in Thailand, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Htoo, now 29, recalls making the long trek with his parents to cross the border when he was about 5.

"[It's] a very long way," he says. "We don't have a car, a plane. We don't have a bicycle to ride. My parents just take what they can carry, and then we started walking across the jungle, sleeping in the jungle."
