    Young Laotian monks go abroad for a better education

    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    A long way from home two young Laotian monks are engrossed in their studies in one of the numerous monasteries in Chiang Mai in Thailand. They are two of the lucky ones who were allowed to go to Northern Thailand to get a better education. Most of the monks come from poor families who cannot support their child on their own and therefore send it to a monastery.
