Dear Friends:
I have just uploaded 8 more videos to http://www.akha.org or
http://www.youtube.com/akhazauh from our trip and discussions of Akha culture.
We will probably rest in Apache Junction a couple more weeks before moving east,
repairs on the bus and resting Hampton.
We need an additional $700 to replace our second AC unit on the bus, and then we
move on.
We have 165 videos now on YouTube.com/akhazauh with nearly 100,000 views.We
think that is pretty good.
We soon head for New Mexico and Texas and points east.
The Akha of Pah Nmm Akha tell that the Queen's project has them growing tea for
slave death camp wages while the products are sold at a high price.
We also are told that the Thai police have come to the village extorting old men
for money, hauling them off to jail until they pay, basically kidnapping for a
ransom.
We'd like to hear from you.
