The group helps Burmese people regarding health and language as most migrant workers cannot speak the Mizo language. Difficulties crop up in their field of work due to this, especially when they are employed at a clinic or hospital..

Close to 200 people attended the meeting. They selected 21 people as committee members, and after that, the group reviewed 2008 reports of health and education. It revealed that they had taken over 50 migrant workers to hospital. They had also helped 113 candidates, who could not speak in Mizo.

According to a report the most common diseases among migrant works are dysentery, common cold, pneumonia, influenza, stomach ache, especially among children. TB, malaria, asthma, skin cancer, abortion and digestive system problems were common among women. Most males faced influenza, typhoid, dysentery, digestive system and blood pressure high/low problems.

Currently, there are almost 1000 members in the group. Migrant works in Aizawl city have enrolled themselves and they pay Rs. 10 as monthly donation for those who need a checkup in the hospital.

One of the workers told Khonumthung News that the BSWA was very helpful for them as they were in a foreign country and faced many problems, especially when they were ill.

 "Before this group was established, we had lots of problems regarding health care. We used to call friends and neighbors in order to take us to hospital as we could not speak the Mizo language. But now we are free from such hindrances as this group represents us," he added.

With the help of this Burmese social group, a graveyard has also been arranged in Aizawl city for Burmese people.

In fact, the group also opened a Burmese school in Zuangtui block, Aizawl city in 2008, for those who could not attend the local school. At the same time, they helped 50 regular Burmese students in the local school, regarding their education and health. - Khonumthung News
