I took these photographs of actress and IRC Voice Rashida Jones this week as she was visiting the Tham Hin refugee camp in Thailand. The camp’s residents have fled war and upheaval in Myanmar and have lived in the camp for years, or in some cases, decades. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is the camp’s sole provider of health care and drinking water.
Known from the TV series “Parks and Recreation" and “The Office,” and the hit movie “The Social Network,” Rashida Jones is using her voice to raise awareness about the humanitarian needs of refugees and others uprooted by global crises.
