Partners Blog: "Where Would We Go?"

Steve and Oddny Gumaer started Partners Relief & Development in response to the needs of refugees and displaced people from Burma. This blog is meant to be a more personal stream of conversation than newsletters allow for. The opinions expressed here may not be those of Partners Relief & Development.

To reach this place I had already walked 12 days visiting other villages and pockets of Internally Displaced People (IDPs), many of whom were from the villages represented by the headmen now meeting with me in the woods. As we talked I began to more fully understand the plight of the IDPs living in the area."
