Maesarieng

We stopped off in Mae sariang for some r and r, and rented a room overlooking the river


The children had a spaghetti dinner with an apple and brownie I had driven the tomato sauce and apples up to maehongson traveling through pai and 1870 turns as I wound my way around mountains. Then the three hour drive on muddy roads, slipping and sliding along the way



Here are pictures of the mountains


And rutted roads





The children and their teachers are wonderful. The kids are well behaved and the teachers are totally dedicated, this is white Karen hill tribe territory, they were here before their were borders. The pictures cannot describe the beauty and natural rhythm that flows through the area. Vehicles pick folks up along the way to deliver them although i saw few other trucks coming or going.
There is only a generator to create electricity, the country of Belgium donated a 3500 watt solar system to another school and we hope to help in any way I can.

Heading to Maehongson with toysforthailand

We rented a 4x4 and we are making our way to a remote hill tribe school down a muddy dirt road to deliver 300 apples and a spaghetti dinner to 250 students, they had originally asked for KFC, a major US export next to Macdonald's and wars, but Sasha turned them down and they will get Italian instead. It should be an interesting trip with my friend Vicki in tow, she just left a week in and elephant camp. Sorry no pictures right now but please be patient. Thanks Joe
