About this blog
-
My name is Wai Hnin Pwint Thon and I am a refugee from Burma. I am a student in London at the moment. I came to the United Kingdom two years ago so that I could study. This blog will tell you about my life as a refugee and about the life of my father who is a political prisoner in Burma. He is in prison because he campaigns for human rights, democracy and freedom in Burma.
