The suffering of the underdogs (2)

A daughter of U Tin Aye and Daw Khin Aye named Ma Myint Myint Aye (37) living in Kyaungpai quarter, Thanbyuzayat township in Mon state, Burma, came to PVA and ask for her temporary stay while looking for her missing mother on April 4, 2012.
Ma Myint Myint Aye got married with a railroad worker named Ko Win in 1991 and moved in with her husband in the railroad worker’s housing line in Moulmein. In 2011 while she was carrying her pregnancy, she and her 9 years old son Maung Khant Win remained helplessly after the husband unexpectedly died of the stroke in the brain. The compensation for his death at 30000 kyat handed over to the husband’s parents by the railway official. The pension fund also was not available for her husband, who was just a day laborer. However, she received 10000 kyat a month for 7 month from the railroad office for her grievance. In January 2012, she was ordered to move out of her residence for the other worker to move in after she had her new born baby for 7 days. On March 3, 2012, she came to Mae Sot and looked for her mother, who was supposed to be in Mae Sot, by the help of her elder sister. However, she couldn’t find her mother. Instead, her baby was ill leading her to bring him to the Maetaw clinic by a motorbike taxi. At the clinic, she met with Ko Yan Naing, who was a social worker for the Maetaw clinic, and explained him about her situation. Finally, Ko Yan Naing instructed her to go to PVA and seek for help in this regard. As an organization that was formed to help the migrants from Burma, PVA saved Ma Myint Myint Aye and her children while looking for her missing mother.
