I forgot in the last update that we went to Bangkok. Kanchana had completed her Masters degree in Education last year and her graduation ceremony was this year and her certificate was handed to her by Princess Sirindhorn.

Incidentally, the volunteers I mentioned in the last post, that I was told complained that I didn't take care of them enough; they wrote to me today asking to help more and saying that they plan to come back. Email included:

"My daughter Samantha (17) and I (45) had the privilege of visiting the Mirror Foundation in Thailand last November, living and helping these amazing people and one cannot help but walk away from the experience not wanting to break the emotional bond made and to continue to help the hilltribe people and the Foundation in anyway one can. "

and this:

"There is not a day that I do not miss the time I spent at Mirror. The experience and the wonderful Thai people, well they have permanently etched themselves in my heart. I have spoken to Nat about returning back this year and I do hope to during the second part of this year."

So their time couldn't have been too bad.

Anyway, attached are some more pictures from the last month or so from the other camera.
