Black Lahu Village

Just after dawn this Black Lahu girl, dressed in her best outfit,  gives an offering of rice to the monks who come into the village daily from their monastery nearby.

The only water supply for the whole village is brought down from the hills by bamboo pipe.   The villagers use the water for cooking  and laundry.  They bathe in rivers and waterfalls, as did we.

Our hostess, the wife of the head man and 2 of her daughters prepare a meal for us.

Off to work.
