| Dear Friends: Day before yesterday Wed 8 June, we spent five hours picketing the Thai Consulate at 611 Larchmont in Los Angeles. CBS Channel 2, and that story was picked up by Yahoo News Videos. www.akha.org for Day 95: You can find all these links on our home page also. The Thais came out to take their intel pictures, I gave them flyers about the Queen of Thailand. I did the same for everyone going in and out of the Consualte. The women who worked inside with Thai Tourism came out and fed carrots to Hampton, you can see in the video. At the end of the day Channel 2 of CBS news showed up and did a story, which we really appreciate because that got picked up by Yahoo News Videos. We appreciate those who have taken the time to support this expedition, we hope you will continue to find a reason to do it. And if you haven't to date, we hope you will. Hampton is doing fine, the kids are seeing quite a bit, today resting on a farm in El Monte. Michu is waiting for a box of clothes her mother sent her from Thailand, more Akha clothes for our daughter who doesn't have much yet. Al Jazeera TV in Thailand has done a documentary on the devastating work of the
christian missions, you can see their news report here: http://www.bythefault.com/2009/06/08/christian-missionaries-devastating-the-culture-of-the-akha-tribe-in-chang-rai/ The case of Bobby Morse and rape of hill tribe girls, that is still going on in Chiangmai and we will let you know as soon as we hear of an outcome. Last we heard Bobby was trying to get the girls to recant their statement at the police
department, the accused having contact with the victims? The bus is holding up well and we get on our way towards Phoenix in a day or two. Los Angeles was our biggest city for a while, now we are back into scattered horse land, as we head for Pamona, Ontario, San Bernadino, Riverside, Redlands, Palm Springs. My goal is to gather as much publicity for the Akha as possible. To some extent I am succeeding.
