I am grateful for what has been given to our family," Mrs Su Kay told Asia Focus. According to her testimony, Mrs Su Kay had asked a local village chief to assist with relocating into a resettlement house. It originally called for an independent Karen state but dropped the demand in 1976 and now supports a federal system instead. "This area initially had nothing, but once the Nippon Foundation arrived, development followed suit," she said. Now that she has returned to her home community, Mrs Su Kay has reaffirmed to her commitment to stay and raise her children here.
