Conflicts in Burma

I did not find any specific blogs or anything that really interested me. I went the "Occupy Wall Street" route and most of it was partisan rambling that did not entice me. Then I was teaching one of my small ELL groups at Woodrow Wilson when I began talking to one of the newer immigrants who said he was from Burma. He talked about when he left Burma in 2007 after his apartment building exploded killing his father, older brother and young cousin, who was in the family's care. His mother, two sisters and him made it out of Burma shortly after and were kicked around the world, from Europe to Africa, they finally made it to Canada, where he and his family lived for two years and he learned most of his English and French there. He then moved to Denver, Colorado for a couple years where he got a bit better at English, but lost much of his French. He is now here in the United States and is 13 years old, he doesn't really know how terrible things were in Burma, only that he felt much better when he made it out of the country.
