Maybe there are other more appropriate ways for me to learn, but in particular I’m interested in learning about the technical side of your work. It sounds like you’re learning a lot from them about their creative problem solving given limited resources. How is CRWRC helping you bring new innovations (hippo/aqua rollers, rope pumps, portable light, etc) and/or resources (mosquito nets, quality seed, local language Bibles, literacy materials, training materials, etc) to folks who need them? Are you working within CRWRC funding alone or are you involved in local project financing efforts, too?

Those are big questions. Perhaps the answers are interwoven into your blog already! Laos and SE Asia has specific issues I am very unfamiliar with, too, so other culture and social-environmental aspects of your work and life there are good to read about as well! What’s the situation of the schools and/or informal education there? I look forward to diving into it a bit more and to getting your newsletters.
