Residents of the Mae La Refugee Camp at Mae Sot, Thailand, perform traditional dance for Mrs. Laura Bush during her visit to the camp on the Burma border on Aug. 7, 2008. It has been almost 20 years since the August 8, 1988 crackdown in Burma which began forcing residents from the country. Many of the people in the Mae La Refugee Camp and the other eight camps along the border have been born in the camps or lived most of their lives in the camps, waiting for conditions to improve in Burma or to move to the United States and other countries.
