Brief History of Karenni Community of Texas

Karenni people fled the civil war in Burma. They all hoped to find a better place elsewhere after being in refugee camps for so long and not being able to return home. Therefore, for a better future, many of us chose to resettle in the United States and other third countries. However, arrival in the land of opportunity called United States does not always guarantee peace, stability, and security, at least for the moment.
