We invite you to join us for an engaging and heartfelt evening as we celebrate the launch of Tinkering Towards My Spark / Nrij Nrij Nrawj Nrawj Txog Kuv Lub Teeb Ci the latest story in the Our Stories Carried Us Here series.
Written by Thai Chang and illustrated by Khou Vue, this bilingual book (English/Hmong) shares Thai's journey from Wat Tham Krabok, a refugee camp in Thailand to discovering his passion for STEM.
Thai reflects on his early experiences as a child playing with old broken cassette players in Wat Tham Krabok and how that curiosity blossomed into a lifelong love for building and creating. Through his story, we gain insight into the challenges faced by refugee families, the strength of cultural identity, and the triumph of discovering one’s spark in a new land.
