A young girl rides the bus home after her night classes in Mae Sot, Thailand. The slums in Mae Sot are home to hundreds of both legal and illegal migrant workers from Myanmar. 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.
