Poor Remote Mountain Village


Shortly before sunset on Friday, December 21, 2012, I arrived with Steve Rutledge and Mike Yap, the founders of Adopt a Village in Laos, Art Quickenton, who was visiting Laos for the second time from the U.S., Neil Disney, who was visiting from Scotland, Boun, a Laotian man and translator, and Phany Joy, another translator, at this small village isolated deep in the rugged and beautiful mountainous countryside of northern Laos.


On the way to this village we passed through Phonsavanh, another remote mountain village where Adopt a Village in Laos distributed some 50 water filters in December 2011.

This particular village is very poor and will need a new water source, water filters, a new school, and solar panels for generating electricity to service a couple of lights.
