\"\"Depuis qu'elle est enfant, Bu Ja Pu a entendu des coups de feu et des bombardements l\u00e0 o\u00f9 elle a grandi dans l'\u00c9tat Kachin du Myanmar. C'est un conflit interne apparemment sans fin qui dure depuis 1961.<\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 le conflit, Bu Ja Pu a pu aller \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole jusqu'en 6e ann\u00e9e. Lorsqu'elle s'est mari\u00e9e, elle et son mari ont d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 dans un village isol\u00e9 consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme \u00e0 l'abri des combats et ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se faire une vie. Leur nouvelle maison se trouvait dans un endroit magnifique pr\u00e8s de la fronti\u00e8re avec la Chine. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 construit sur un terrain plat et fertile avec de belles montagnes au loin. Une rivi\u00e8re vivifiante coulait des montagnes, juste devant leur village et leurs fermes.<\/p>\n

They began a family and set up a small farm. They planted 3,000 trees that they hoped to harvest for lumber in their retirement years. To supplement their income, they would work as day labourers.\u00a0 Sometimes they would pan for gold in the river below their home.<\/p>\n

In 2012 their peaceful, idyllic life came to an abrupt end when the sound of gunfire and bombs announced that the conflict had reached their village.\u00a0 Along with their neighbours, they ran into the jungle to hide.\u00a0 They stayed hidden for three days surviving on whatever they could forage. One of her daughters became so sick that Bu was afraid that she would die.<\/p>\n

The group knew that they couldn\u2019t return home.\u00a0 They also couldn\u2019t stay in the jungle.\u00a0 They decided they needed to go to the Baptist camps that had been set up for Myanmar\u2019s internally displaced people (IDPs). Under the cover of darkness they cautiously made their way to the river where they were able to hire boats to take them the capital city.\u00a0 There they hired motorbike taxis to take them to the camps.<\/p>\n

Alors que d'autres r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s les rejoignaient, ils remplissaient tellement neuf bateaux que Bu Ja Pu avait peur qu'ils coulent dans la rivi\u00e8re et se noient. Effray\u00e9e, elle a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se demander s'ils devaient ou non prendre le bateau. Devraient-ils risquer de marcher dans la jungle o\u00f9 ils pourraient \u00eatre tu\u00e9s par des soldats ou prendre les bateaux o\u00f9 ils pourraient mourir dans la rivi\u00e8re ? Elle a envoy\u00e9 une pri\u00e8re pour les aider \u00e0 faire le bon choix. Ils d\u00e9cid\u00e8rent de prendre le bateau.<\/p>\n

The boat approached a village where they thought they could land safely.\u00a0 However, they were met by soldiers who threatened to kill them if they docked so they kept sailing.\u00a0 Eventually, they made it safely to the camps.<\/p>\n

For six years, the family have lived in a small IDP camp. The camp has few resources and there is little opportunity to earn an income. Recently they tried to go back to their farm, but they turned back at a military checkpoint.\u00a0 They were told \u201cYou left your village, it is no longer yours. We live here now.\u201d<\/em> Their home, their farm, and their dreams of a secure retirement have been taken from them.\u00a0 They are now forced to rely on the kindness of others for their survival in the IDP camp.<\/p>\n

ADRA a \u00e9t\u00e9 une grande partie de l'aide que Bu Ja Pu et sa famille ont re\u00e7ue. Gr\u00e2ce aux fonds de nos fid\u00e8les partisans et du gouvernement du Canada, nous travaillons dans les camps de d\u00e9plac\u00e9s baptistes. ADRA a mis en place des syst\u00e8mes d'eau et d'assainissement, des programmes d'\u00e9ducation et un syst\u00e8me de bons o\u00f9 certaines des personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es les plus vuln\u00e9rables re\u00e7oivent une petite somme d'argent chaque mois pour aider aux d\u00e9penses familiales.<\/p>\n

Bu Ja Pu dit,<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so uncomfortable taking help from others for so long. Before, whenever someone would give us a gift, we would always be able to give back or pass it on to help people in greater need than ourselves. But living here, in this IDP camp, we keep receiving, receiving, receiving, with no real way to give back or help others. This makes me very sad. I don\u2019t want to live like this! If I had a small farm, I could raise animals and grow vegetables, enough to feed my family, send my children to school, and help others. This would make me happy. But I do want to say, on behalf of my family and other families in this camp, that we are all very grateful for the help that we have received from ADRA and the government of Canada. I have used the money to buy food and help cover the costs of sending my children to school. Ever since ADRA installed the clean water system, toilets and showers in our camp, my children are no longer getting sick. Because of you, we are able to meet our daily needs. May God bless you!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, ADRA a constat\u00e9 qu'un syst\u00e8me de coupons peut \u00eatre plus rentable et efficace que les distributions alimentaires. Les bons donnent \u00e9galement aux familles la dignit\u00e9 d'utiliser l'argent pour couvrir les besoins les plus urgents de la famille, tels que la nourriture, les articles d'hygi\u00e8ne, les m\u00e9dicaments, les frais de scolarit\u00e9, les fournitures pour b\u00e9b\u00e9s, etc.<\/p>\n

Le travail que nous faisons dans les camps de personnes d\u00e9plac\u00e9es au Myanmar n'est qu'une des fa\u00e7ons dont ADRA aide certaines des plus de 65 millions de personnes dans le monde qui sont actuellement d\u00e9plac\u00e9es de leurs foyers.<\/p>\n
