This morning we travelled up into the hill villages. I am amazed at just how much has been achieved. There is new accommodation for the children as well as a pig sty to provide food and bartering potential. There is a school nearby where the children attend and staff who live on site.
We had an English lesson in the traditional Thai outdoor eating platform followed by delicious Pad Thai made in
an open cooking area.We also met a little boy called 'Seven' who was born at 7:07 on 7.7. 2010.
From there we headed further up into the hills where the Burmese r
efugees live. They run craft stalls, farm the land and run elephant rides for the tourists. Just another one of those things I can now cross off my bucket list.
