Photos from the last few months...
















Rusty with Lawyee, Win, Sailoong, and Anong--some of the students who live at the Akha Youth Development Center.












Some of the kids that are sponsored through the AYDC program that live in a nearby village (Huisan Akha Village)



































Ahmee's mother shared some beatle nut with me that she chews on to help numb her mouth for tooth pain...it is also meant to look beautiful.

























Rusty with Boomee and Goo Geek (two girls from the Akha Youth Development Center)














































A delicious spread of Akha food to celebrate rice harvesting season.

Lynette, you look like 'Dorothy, in the Wizard of Oz' in the picture with your orange tongue. You are just too cute. Sure do miss you.
Love you guys,
Auntie Anne

Great pictures! What did you think of the Betel nut? It wasn't quite as bad as I imagined...plus I love to spit, so it was pretty fun! I also love the pic of the kids in their akha clothes!
