Kaenkham Toummalay, known as "Kham", is our bookkeeping assistant and lunch cook at Big Brother Mouse. She was born in Xieng Lak village, near Luang Prabang city, one of seven children.

Although she has a secondary education, Kham was never inspired to read for enjoyment until Khamla, her boyfriend, shared some interesting books from Thailand with jokes, stories, and non-fiction with her. Now, reading is one of her favorite pastimes, and she would like to see all children in Laos have an opportunity to enjoy reading.

Kham began her career at Big Brother Mouse early in 2007, helping Khamla with bookkeepting. Now she also helps at book parties, and cooks a tasty staff for the lunch ever day. In her free time, Kham enjoys reading, cooking, bicycling, and playing badminton.

Kham is currently writing a Lao cookbook, for us to publish one day, with recipes for both Lao people and tourists.
