New Photos from Laos!

Yesterday I got some that Hoa had taken with her camera that I downloaded onto my computer. She got back from Bangkok yesterday after spending two weeks doing an internship with a NGO. She is leaving on Friday to go back to Vietnam and I will miss her! Thanks Hoa for these great photos and a great first month in Laos getting to know you!

Me at the opening of a school's new library that
Mme. Xuyen facilitated the building of. 

Me and the director of the Women's Disabled Center in
front of one of their looms.

Me with Madame Xuyen and the director of the Women's Disabled Center.

Madame Xuyen and me at a morning market!

Tamkhung or Green Papaya Salad!

Me teaching kids the hokey pokey

Me at the garden of the sauna and massage place.

Hoa and me at the sauna and massage place.

Madame Xuyen, Skip and me at the Provencal, a
French restaurant in Vientiane.

Me teaching the kids head, shoulder, knees and toes.

That's right mom and dad, me on a bike in front of Donkoi Center!


At the 'heritage house' in Donkoi village, the 'doll houses' the owner crafts by hand!

Hoa and me planting rice!

Eating noodles at Madame Xuyen's house with Arro and Hoa!

Teaching the Donkoi kids piano! 

Donkoi kids, Hoa and me at the piano!

The "heritage" house being moved backwards away from the road. This is an example of a typical Lao house. The owners wanted to preserve it so they hired guys to slowly move it, keeping it completely intact because a new road goes too close to the front of their house.

Kahmfahn, the youth director at Donkoi, makes a sign for my birthday!

The kids of Donkoi performing the dragon dance!
