Picha comes from a very humbling family, a very shy boy at first but when you get to know about him more, he starts to get really active and naughty. He's from Myanmar and he is the youngest of three, he has 2 elder sisters. He loves his toys and every time when we give him something, he will cherish them.

His hair is always a bit messy, what shows that he is always running around. When we play together, he's always trying to get on top of my back, which is cool because he is very light! Even eating a lot of ice cream! Oh boy! He loves chocolate ice cream, and he doesn't eat any ‘weird' ice cream like matcha or pistachio.

His currently 6 and going to school. We are happy to see him taking classes and slowly building a good life for him and his family, where he first arrived here he couldn’t go to school, but now he really digs it! He's always very kind and generous, always wanting to help whenever he sees somebody working. But he is funny, because he is a bit clumsy as well, so he helps and makes you laugh at the same time

Every time I see him I want a hug! But you should know his hugs are really fast and brief - so enjoy when yo can!

Picha is inspired by a real child also named Picha. He and his family are part of Picha Project , a social organization in Malaysia that looks to bring a better life and dignity for refugees families. Carlotas is happy to partner up with them to tell you this stories!
