There are too many things that we find strange and unfamiliar. We have never lived in an environment in which we are discriminated against for being born into a certain family or social strata. We have never experienced living in a village, waking up very early in the morning, toiling and reaping land which has been passed from one generation to another for subsistence.
But what we do know is the struggle that is within all humans. The need to be someone better, the natural instinct to stay alive and the constant questioning on who we are, why we are here and what is our main purpose to be in this life.
Uncle and Kkenang is our attempt in trying something foreign and breaking it down to our own humanistic terms. Nothing is alienating if only we try to understand it.
So we hope that you will join us, in understanding the lives and the struggles of our foreign workers for it is never too far from our understanding of our own lives.
