PONG NAM RON, Thailand –
Tun Min Lat climbs a bamboo ladder in the longan orchards of eastern Thailand, moving from tree to tree as he plucks the juicy tropical fruit in the sweltering heat of a November morning.
For the first time in the nearly two decades he has lived in Thailand, the 42-year-old Myanmar refugee is able to work legally.
“Now, I feel like I can see a future,” he said.
