On January 2, 2014, staff and students of LEOT spent a day visiting a village about 40 minutes away from Luang Prabang, followed by a picnic by the river. Once we arrived at the village, many villagers came to see who these falangs were and probably wondered why we stopped there.
Peter Banwell had brought knitted jumpers all the way from the UK to be donated to this village.
The children stood in line, by age and size, and the staff, students and volunteers tried to find a fitting piece to give to the children. The ones not receiving a jumper or other clothes, received a book, pencil, pen or whatever other item we had with us.
It was a wonderful experience to help out and see the smiles on many of these little faces.
Just a bit outside the village, we stopped to have a picnic down by the river. As always, the staff and students prepared all the food, and the falangs (volunteers and visitors at LEOT) were spoiled with a delicious lunch.
Thank you, Nick Hubbard, for some of your pictures.
