Dear all,
Here are some of the unforgettable moments captured when a group of Lao-American students met and talked with their new friends at LAC (the Lao-American College, Vientiane) on their mission to study the Lao language and culture in their motherland. Everybody looked very happy to be welcomed by Than Nang Virginia Van Ostrand or Ajarn Ginny, LAC co-director, Aj. Guy, and other faculty and staff members. I myself am very glad to meet new friends like aj. Guy, aj. Gig, Nang Samantha who is incredibly fluent in Lao, and many others. In particular I’ve been very amazed by Ajarn Ginny’s devotion and contributions to the education system in Laos.
I’ll be there again on June 27th-30th.
Cheers,
Varisa K. (Goy)*
