Marshall Morgan of Marion. Ill.. is an outstanding person in every respect and has recently returned to Thailand as a Peace Corps volunteer and leader. This is her third tour of duty in Thailand and she has been working in a refugee camp on the Cambodian border. Recently she wrote to her parents about her first several weeks in the camp. This letter which appeared in the Marion Daily Republican. describes so well the daily struggles experienced by both Cambodians who have left their country and fled to Thailand and by those who are offering whatever assistance they can to help the refugees. I am inserting a copy of her letter in order that we may all get a glimpse of what is happening in Southeast Asia. The letter follows: Dear mom and dad: Youre probably wondering whats happened to me. I know I promised to call from San Francisco. but my stopover there was cut short by a call to return to Bangkok immediately. I hardly got off the plane here before going immediately down to the border to help out with the influx of refugees from Cambodia. Ive been working in the camp for two weeks now. Im sure youve been hearing about the problem on T.V.
