IOM toilet training for refugees in Myanmar-Thailand border

Pix is a poster that's part of IOM's 10 day training for Burmese refugees who are destined for resettlement in US.. idea is to train the refugees in the ways and means of the new country they will live and in this case its the US..

Sadly the training is just 10 days, that include basic English,culture and life in US,currency etc...and part of that training include the use of airplane toilets as they will be flying from Thailand to US..

Most of these people have never been to a school nor have a clue outside the world of Refugee camps in Thai-Burma border.. and majority had never seen a proper Bus let alone a Plane!!!!!

I can't imagine their shock and horror of an alien land when they land in US..i wanted to post this few weeks back to coincide with International Refugee Day..but never made it..
