Event Details

Bay Klay Chit is a young adult refugee from Karen State, Burma, and a core team member of GenHope, an organisation set up to promote Karen leadership in Australia and along the Thai-Burma border. Bay has traveled back to the Thai-Burma border multiple times, visiting the camps where he grew up, as well as schools and villages inside the internally displaced zones of his homeland.

Passionate about soccer, Bay is hoping to be part of a soccer trip that would take members of his church to the border to compete with Karen youth and young adults, as many Karen are also obsessed with the sport.

The Karen are an ethnic group from Karen State, Burma. Like the Rohingya, the Karen have faced systemic aggression on behalf of the Burmese military for 70 years. Hundreds of thousands of Karen have been displaced, with many of them seeking asylum in Australia and elsewhere. Today a tentative ceasefire is in place over Karen State, however the local population still face extremely difficult circumstances with limited access to food, water, medical assistance and education.

Bay Klay has a particular skill with creating sauces and dips. Along with a friend, Bay will teach us how to cook up a Karen vegan meal that will include some of these. Please join us for a very special storytelling and sharing session.
