Janet Vanniroth in the orphanage center where her mother worked in the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp, 1980. Woven mats were used to divide the space into rooms for the children. Staff, like Janet’s mother, lived in the office areas, while their children slept in the orphanage center with the other children. The staff prepared meals and dining was communal. When Janet’s mother learned that her husband had escaped to the U.S., she had the photo taken to send to him.
