Monks and Strings

I walked through another "strings and chanting" festival today at Wat Simeuang this afternoon.  The monks were busy with large balls of string constructing a grid pattern above the grounds around the temple.

The man and his chook - Part 2

The chicken was taken out of its cage for a preen by its owner.  He sat on the ground and cut is claws and put some sort of balm on them.

L'Homme et sa poule

These rattan cages for poultry are called Les Cages du Coq in French, so I feel that a french title is appropriate for this photo of a man and his chicken.

Grade 10 students complete a Personal Project - The PP.  It has been their focus for at least 5 months and especially February as deadlines approach.  We assessed them this week and there will be a presentation evening next week.  This video from Moukdaly (Angie) communicates to the Laos community to raise awareness about autism.  Its a fantastic and excellent piece of work.  Please click the link and watch.
