"Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor"

At the Mae Tao Clinic this 5-month old child receives free medical care for her burns. The child pulled a pot of hot water on herself as she was being watched by her 11-year old sister while her parents farmed. Here, her father, Zaw Win, and another child anxiously hope for her recovery. He is a farmer and is loosing pay while he tends to his burned child. Mae Tao Clinic was established in Mae Sot Thailand by Dr. Cynthia Maung in 1989 to give free emergency healthcare to the Burmese refugees and migrant workers who have no place else to go. The clinic was set up to serve the needs of the countless people who cross the river between the two countries, often at great risk. Photo taken Mae Sot, Thailand on July 7, 2010.
