Cynthia is a Burmese Karen woman working as production manager for WEAVE, Women's Education for Advancement and Empowerment. Her parents and sister opted to move to a refugee camp to speed up the resettlement process, but she remained in Mae Sot with her Thai Karen husband and daughter. Her family members were resettled to Buffalo two years ago, and cannot re-visit Cynthia until they obtain green cards.
