UNHCR Thailand won the Asia Pacific Communication Award 2016 in the category “Campaign by Non-Profit Organizations” for its NAMJAI FOR REFUGEES campaign. The announcement was made yesterday in Singapore.

The first voluntary returns of Myanmar refugees from Thailand took place this week, an initiative that was being supported by the governments of the two countries. An initial number of 71 refugees had wished to return home as part of the first pilot group, which is hoped to mark the beginning of a process of returns that might eventually resolve one of Asia’s longest-running refugee situations.

The Beginning

It started when Kong invited me to join UNHCR’s NAMJAI FOR REFUGEES campaign. I said “Yes” right away as a Thai I believe in helping others. I decided to visitMae La refugee camp in Tak province to learn about refugees and keep to experience to compose my song for the campaign. Our special song called “Thank you from the hills from the hearts”
