Flying for the Gibbons

My Scholarship entry - In The Bokeo Jungle

These two very small piglets were so inquisitive yet so scared! Barely a few weeks old, they would run towards us and then hide in the bushes. These piglets were at the start of the village, which meant the end of our trek and then end of our three day unbelievable zipline experience. An adventure one will never forget.

We came across this farmer and his wife on our way back to the village on our final day. They both hike several hours every day to sell drinks to the ten or so travellers who cross this path.

While she was selling the drinks, we watched him gather wood, use his knife to take the bark off and make it smooth, then begin to place it together to fix his gate which had been broken. He worked so effortlessly and quietly, we all sat in silence watching him.
