Mother

One of the women really reminded me of my mother. She lived in a community in the countryside until she died after her 61st birthday. All her life she never wore any shoes and she did not know why shoes are important for health. She never went to school and she never had a chance to see other places outside her community. Poverty, sadness, low self-confidence and a limited view were her friends, always. How many women are like my mother in Burma? How long will they have to live like this? By MMT
