Don't worry, we're still alive. Just lazy. Past two weeks have been somewhat crazy...
Teaching English...theme of the day: food. The kids are clearly spellbound.
Look at those windows...
We play their favorite game at the end of every class. Down by the banks. We added it up...we play it for about one hour total every Tuesday.
We also taught them about adobe stoves since they all still cook over open fires in their homes. Once we told them what to do, the village members took over and built the foundation and sides of the stove within an hour. It's in the village town hall so it'll be a communal stove. Also, there are huge spiders in that town hall that almost gave me a heart attack.
Two little beggar boys we met as we hiked to a waterfall near the Akha village. See the 20 baht bills in their hands? First thing they said to us: "Hello, 10 baht. Hello, 10 baht."
They didn't manage to squeeze any money out of us, but we still got suckered into carrying them around. Can you blame us?

The Thailand Akha hill tribe village medical clinic we are helping build. All last week, we hauled tons of 30 foot long bamboo chutes from the jungle, and stones and sand from the river across that bridge to help build a medicinal sauna, bathroom, and shower for the clinic. Really, really exhausting work, but way better than being stuck inside packing medical supplies or teaching English. Not that we don't love both of those things...
