Refugees harvest hope in Pewaukee
St. Bartholomew's garden provides food for the soul
 
By Rebecca Seymour
 

“I am at peace now,” said Gaw Paw, looking over the huge garden she helped plant. The 68-year-old great-grandmother is a refugee from Burma. She and her family fled for their lives from the war-torn country, also known as Myanmar, and spent more than 10 years in a refugee camp on the Thailand border.

They had no electricity and no running water. The crowded camps offered little shelter, and diseases like malaria were commonplace. They had little hope for freedom and certainly, no sense of peace. What they did have, however, was a garden.

Through the support of humanitarian organizations and local churches, such as St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church in Pewaukee, Gaw Paw and her family escaped their unfathomable living conditions and have been living in Waukesha since 2007.
