Kentucky Refugee Ministries is a resettlement agency authorized by the U.S. Dept. of State to assist refugees who have been legally admitted to the United States, as victims of warfare or other forms of persecution because of their religious or political beliefs.

Pae Dah came to Louisville as a client of KRM from a refugee camp in Thailand where she lived for two year after being forced from her home country of Burma. Although Pae Dah is still separated from several family members, and adjusting to American culture and the English language, she smiled through most of our interview as she spoke of her new found freedom.

Pae Dah’s quote in the painting;

I’ve come to Louisville and I am very happy because it is freedom.
