The Akha are a hill tribe people known for their beautiful handcraft and artistry. You can read more about these people here.
Some of the children I met live in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Luang Prabang, but most of these children live in villages. Some villages are very poor and have little in the way of modern conveniences, yet they have a closeness with each other that you can feel when on your first encounter. Temples and "attractions" are nice, but the time I spent with these children means more to me and it is this memory that I hold dear.
Today's quote: Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Lovely people studies. I am hopeless at people shots, I must practice. I love their traditional clothes.

Happy faces - smiling eyes!

What a fantastic photo video! Thank you for sharing it :-)
What a lovely post! The children are adorable. Have a great new week!
Children can be a delight...and while they also can be rascals, they do have a certain innocence...or as some famous songsters once sang, "Hate has to be very carefully taught."
Lovely photos!
