Laos Akha Village Three

This was one of the poorest villages that we went to. We walked quite some distance to get there. Once we arrive the kids didn't quite know what to think of us but once I showed them themselves on the display of my digital camera I gathered quite a crowd. We didn't stay long. We didn't even see any adults to speak of. It was mid-day the entire village was out in the fields gathering rice. When you think of the power of real community, child care probably doesn't come to mind but that's what happened in this village. In face the little girl draped in the black garment, washing clothes with a hose had a tiny little baby wrapped up on her back. How does your community help you with your life's responsibilities?
