It was also scary there - I would leave work in the night, and be so afraid that I would run home. I couldn’t go to school, which made me sad. The working hours were also hard - I worked 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, for just over $400NZD per month. I worked in a jewellery shop, but I couldn’t really speak Malay so I got into trouble very often. Life in Malaysia was really tough - I had to work to support the family. We had to leave, and the only place we could get to was Malaysia. There was religious conflict in Myanmar, and my family was Christian (Myanmar is Buddhist country). As a kid I loved my village - I knew so many people and everyone was really close. We just learned from a textbook, and we didn’t have that many resources so we couldn’t learn much outside of what was in the book. To make things even more complicated, I had to learn Burmese, the official state language, when I went to school.Īt school, there was no internet. I am part of the Chin ethnic group, and my first language was Falam, the language of the Chin people. Growing up in Letpanchaung I also had to learn Mizo, because lots of my friends and other people in the community spoke this language. In Myanmar, there are 8 different ethnic groups and many different languages. I was born in Haikhawl, a small village in the north west of Myanmar.
