Karen people live in the jungle. Their homes are made of wood, bamboo, and leaves. Every year, we make a new home.

that we live in the south.

This is Karen Food, we eat with our hands.
My favorite food is Fish Past and Bamboo.
Clothing
THESE STUDENTS ARE WEARING KAREN CLOTHES.
WE USE LOOMS AND TREES TO MAKE THESE CLOTHES.
THESE CLOTHES ARE MOSTLY MADE BY HAND.
MY FAVORITE CLOTHING IS TAE KOO, AND IT’S VERY USEFUL IF YOU ARE LIVING IN THE JUNGLE.
GOVERNMENT
Karen people don’t have their own country, but they have a state called Karen State. Karen state is inside of Burma.
Karen government is a kind of democracy. People fight for freedom from Burmese military.
Religions
Most Karen people are Christians and Buddhists.
In the picture the Buddha is fat; it means wealthy in spirituality. Buddhists want peace and to have a good life.
Christians believe that Jesus takes away the sin of the world.
A PLACE WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO GO
I would like to go to Vietnam and India because I like their foods and clothing. Vietnam has a lot beautiful places, so I would like to go there, and I love their hats. In India, I have some friends that are from there, so I would like to go visit them.
