Listen "Distributing aid in Myanmar at great risk / "Mr. Khong""
Episode Synopsis
Myanmar has been in crisis since the military seized power again in 2021. Distributing aid is dangerous, so MCC's partners in the region face significant challenges. Meet Mr. Khong (not using his real name for security reasons), an MCC partner in Myanmar. He shares how he is navigating these dangerous conditions, talks about the moral obligation he feels as a peace worker, the livelihoods being impacted, families fleeing from their homes, the unpredictability of the army and the constant worry about being a target. "Being meaningful to my country, being meaningful to my community, that can’t be measured," he says. Full transcript available here.
