It was so nice to meet you the other day. Dori and I just think the world of you and your work. I hope you go home safe with little jet lag. But I think from your point of view, it’s all fine. At least in America, we don’t have to worry about getting blown up by digging in our backyard.

I just read this story about the mother who died as a result from hitting a bombie with her backhoe. So sad. It is quite a reality in Laos that you will be risking life and limb to eek out a living. Very heartbreaking. Unfortunately, she is just one of many tragic stories or one waiting to happen if nothing is done to protect these people.

Please let us know if we can be of any assistance to you in the future. Please meet up again when you come back to Laos. Sok Dii Pimai!

All the best,
Barbara & Dori
