Karen graduation
In Maesot, Thailand, four young Karens graduate with a Diploma of Theology from Australian Catholic University. Their program of online studies with ACU was initiated by the Marist Mission Centre in 2001 and reflects a Marist commitment to the formation of young people, in this case Karen refugees along the Thai-Burma border.
