One more before bed

At the school in Phin District. After a puppet show by some of the students, I got up and spoke briefly to the kids, teachers, and village leadership, and then, as Consortium often does when visiting schools, I gave the kids a soccer ball and some Katoe balls. All very fun, and, as you can see, it was standing room (outside the room) only.

The school is a modern, concrete structure built by the Japanese government. A school we visited in more rural Mahaxay District was much more simple, with handmade desks, no lights (no electricity in the area), and a dirt floor.
