still a long way to go !


I had a good time working in IDPs villages with my teams.

As we are from different cultures, it was interesting to learn the others' way of life. Also it was fun to comminicate with different languages. It took very long time to understand each other's language too.
I agree with a friend who said"language is a passport to the world". I also think that "friendship" is an essential supplement of it. We had created some new languages of "Thinglish", "Thai-Lahu" "Lahulish" and English-Lahu".
The photo shows how our IDPs friends in a Lahu village live their lives under the hot ,dry and sunny days in dry season. They have been struggled for their survival under the limitation of food and water for five years.
The team and i were happy being with them and worked together for some days. Lots to learn and share among us. Some small and simple works have been done from our planning together. They have to continue the working for their villiage with some tools, meterials and our sahring ideas we left behind.
Even it is still a long way to go but we belief that was a change for the better.
