My Scholarship entry - Pho Kham Village

The kids of Pho Kham seem to have a very happy upbringing full of love and fun and devoid of the kinds of things western kids complain about. There is no such thing as boredom- they spend a few hours each morning at school, getting out around 11.30 and after lunch spend their time swimming, riding their bikes, exploring, fishing, and being fascinated by visitors. The kids do help on the farms and around the house when asked but have a lot of freedom. When I asked Nola about toys, she proudly produced her favourite teddy bear. Here she poses with him on the bed she shared with the rest of her family.
