Big Brother Mouse

10 August, 2012, Ban Natha, Laos

Support for a reading room: Repeated visits from our staff, to read aloud, bring new books, and conduct other activities, make a big difference in the success of a village reading program. Two or three members of our team go for 3 to 5 days, staying with a family. That provides time for many activities, plus in-depth discussions with the reading room volunteer, and others in the villages.

This event was sponsored by Lyle and Agnes Schaller (United States). Thank you!

Flash floods in August swept away several homes in this region. Our teams had difficulty getting to some villages, but we always did get through.

Once there, we delivered new books and read together. The girl in the third picture is reading The Mountain Spirits and the Stone Mortars, our second book in an ongoing series of traditional Lao folktales.
