We traveled to Dindam Village to formally handover our/their new preschool to the district education department and to the Dindam villagers. We celebrated the handover. We gave vitamins to the Dindam village preschool-aged children. We were warmly embraced (in some cases, literally) by the villagers. They were happy to see us. We had a great time.

A 25-year old man is just trying to provide for his family. He hits a UXO (unexploded ordnance). He loses his hand. The UXO were dropped by the USA during the Secret War in the 1960s and 70s, where indiscriminate bombing for nine years left 80 million live UXO (of 260 million that were dropped) people to discover, maim and kill. Sadly, many of the victims are children, too.

Ban Phakeo secondary school children walk twelve kilometers back and forth twice each day to school. Some come home for lunch; others bring lunch to school. The children take one hour to walk six kilometers. We took six hours going to the village and three hours to get back.
Dr. Bounthanh is assigned to Ban Phakeo and visits the Phakeo Village 2 to 3 times monthly to provide medical and health care to the villagers. In addition, he is responsible for 20 other villages.
