Nice shots Eric. The kids faces say it all. Happy! Do they get many visitors to their village? How far away are these areas to the mining camp where you were working? I hope you enjoyed your time there and considered it another adventure.

Thanks Don, I enjoyed being there to take them. There are a few visitors to this area, but very few from outside of Laos. There are over 60 different cultural groups in Lao, and we had a translator with us from this cultural group who could speak their language and Lao. This language barrier is a problem in UXO education, because in many small villages the people do not speak Lao, and cant read the printed material. Sometimes only one person in the village can speak and read Lao, so a translator is important.

My Name is Eric and My Job is Scientific Exploration.
That means I'm lucky enough to join expeditions to excavate sunken cities, climb volcanoes, find missing bombs, and Sail old research vessels, while searching for the mysteries of the natural world. Categories
