Fighting the scar
“By the grace of Almighty Allah, I’m now in a much better state or situation compared to how I lived before in Burma. Here I’m getting proper foods, medications, a place to sleep, etc. Many food ingredients are also available for us here for a better livelihood and living environment. Not every day is going to be good because I may not always get to eat good food, and for that, I may have to eat a bit less than other days to maintain my diet and eating habit. My wife is becoming more ill as the day passes by. While we were in Shilkhaali camp, we moved freely and did any jobs for earning and living purposes, and no one would bother us there. We also could do farming works there, such as planting chili, poultry farming, and fishing. That’s how we earned, and with that making, we used to buy medicines in need of time for almost five years. Here we’ve also been living for almost five years now after coming from Shilkhaali. The problem with this place is that I may get a job here someday, and the next day I may not get any at all, depending on the situation. I can’t move here and there freely. I may get to eat meat and fish if I get a good earning, and if I don’t, I’d eat less and save for some other time.
