Last week and much of this week has been pretty much the same as previous weeks. Making bricks, getting eaten by bugs, sorting clothes for distribution at the local schools, getting eaten by bugs, rainstorms, getting eaten by bugs, singing around the ... Read more >

While at the homestay in the Tebuya Akha village, I had a chance to talk with one of the Mirror staff members, who happens to be Akha. We talked about the traditional clothes they wear as well as their marriage "ceremony" and how they get ... Read more >

We got back from homestay Friday afternoon and after a short rest, we had dinner and quickly got dressed to attend a special temple service. Apparently, Friday was a holiday. Known as Visakha Bucha, it is the day commemorating the birth, enlightenment ... Read more >

I can't remember if I explained what a homestay entails and I'm too lazy to go back and read my previous posts, but basically every time a new group of volunteers come through the foundation, they get to spend a few days with one of the local hill tribes.... Read more >

After a long, hard week, the gang (sans Sasha) went to our favorite home away from home, Baan Rub Aroon for another relaxing weekend. Ben and I got into town a little early since we had to take Andy#2 to the hospital. We hit a couple of the bars on ... Read more >

I know, I know. I'm behind again. Mea culpa. The bad thing is I don't remember a whole lot from last week, except that things at the foundation were fairly uneventful. We got a whole new batch of people in, 18 additional gap year or college age kids ... Read more >

I can happily report that this weekend was infinitely better than the last. We started by going our elephant ride on Saturday. We drove up to an elephant park near the village we had stayed in earlier that week. I think there were over a dozen elephants ... Read more >

Sorry guys. I'm a couple weeks behind on keeping you updated. It's just been quite the adjustment and instead of getting to this over the weekends like I planned, I sat by the pool or in a hotel room with A/C until I had to leave. But I'm getting ahead ... Read more >

Well, I wish I could tell you that my first experience of Chiange Mai was wonderful and everything I hoped it would be. But honestly, after getting put on a 2nd class bus that left 5 hours later than anticipated by the girl who took it upon herself ... Read more >

Ok...maybe not that drastic. But I will probably shed a few pounds for sure. So, I admit, this isn't one of my more well thought out plans, at least in terms of the food. Today, I arrived in Chiang Rai and now have to face the food issue. How can ... Read more >

Two flights, 5 in flight movies and 20 hours later, I finally arrived in Bangkok. I can say in all honesty, I resemble something the cat dragged in. Dead raccoon, perhaps? To make matters worse, it's hot and humid... at 9:30 pm!!! And, I'm talking Florida ... Read more >
