A word of condolence

In Taphin, there was a young boy named Ly Lao Su who filled our classes with a joy and an enthusiasm that inspired everyone. He attended almost every class smiling and giggling as he drew pictures, practiced English and participated in the village clean-ups. Tragically, he died on the third day of our trip. His joyful spirit will live on in our memories as we move forward.

environmental stewardship in which many children in the community
spent time picking up litter around the village.
