Barbara and I were very fortunate (and we thank our good friend Fred Branfman for the introduction) to have met Ms. Alethea Paradis. She's an attorney, turned teacher, turned entrepreneur who started a tour company, called Friendship Tours World Travel. It offers experiential and community involvement tours to countries of former adversaries*. This is her first tour to Laos.

The four videos below were taken at Thachok Village, a Hmong Village located 45 minutes east of the Xieng Khouang Province capital city of Phonsavan this past January 17, 2012. Give Children A Choice was there to distribute daily multiple vitamins to the preschool children. I've written blogs that describe the vitamin project. This blog has few words.
