    Dear All,

    I am collecting pictures, letters, memoirs, certificates, and Refugee ID photos for a book project on BOAT PEOPLE. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

    Carina,
    This is the type of refugee ID photo I am looking for.

    This would be a challenge as during my time there, we were not asked at all to be photographed as similar to what Carina was showing. I think the process was changed after 1980. I was there in 1981.

    anh Thanh,
    many thanks.

    Thuc,
    thanks for letting me know, I did not realize that, I thought that it was standard UNHCR procedure.

    I did not recall to be asked to be photographed upon arrival. However, if you were working for UNHCR, then you would be required to have an ID Card similar to Anh Thanh's. I will look for mine and post it here soon...

    Thanks

    Carina, I posted most of my photos here :

    Thuc :
    during my time in Galang, all Asylum Seekers and Refugees were issued ID cards by UNHCR. Those who volunteered to work for the camp NGO (like myself) carried another ID cards issued by P3V. We were required to carry this card when riding motorbike on work related trips ...

    here is the volunteer id card :

    Anh Thanh,

    It must be that during my time (1981-1983), there were an influx of refugees and perhaps the UNHCR did not ask us to be photographed. Neither my older brother or I had any recollection or had any such refugee ID. However, both of us, since we volunteered to teach English there, did have a photo ID of working for the "Save the Children". The only reason we were required to have an ID was because the Indonesia Teachers and American Teachers there asked us to come by and played with them during the weekend. We enjoyed it because I played pingpong and killed all of them. :=)

    Hi Carina,

    Attached is my UN refugee photo id. This photo was kept by my parents all these years and I only found it last year as part of my effort to document my identity.

    Carina,

    My picture was taken in 7/1979 at Kuku.
    It was early afternoon. It was our boat’s turn to take photo ID pictures. We formed a long line at the beach. Before me was my 22 year old auntie, who was my only relative in Kuku. Behind me was a family. The mom let us borrow their only comb. There was no mirror. Then, it was my turn. I faced the ocean, looking intensely at the camera and thinking “I just survived the horrendous journey. Now I am ready for more challenge to come. Bring it on."...little that I know, the picture has become the gateway to my past and the sounding board to the future.
