Continuing To Look Through "Eyes To Burma"

Eyes To Burma

Fred Stockwell made a living taking photographs, casting his eyes and lenses about for stunning images. 

He finally saw one he could not take his eyes off: the fate of refugees from Burma (Myanmar, officially) living in a dump in neighboring Thailand. 

He resolved to help them, and formed the organization "Eyes To Burma."

The organization is still going, years later. 

Fred Stockwell and Kara Lewis recently returned from Asia; they visit with stories of their work.
