I flew into Thailand Tuesday morning (July 7th) and started working with AYUI a few days later.  AYUI is an amazing non-

for-profit organization that provides a home environment, educational opportunities and future pathways for disadvantaged hilltribe teens with poor family situations.  The teens in the hostel are all Akha children.  Sadly enough just like any minority groups living anywhere, the challenges they faced includes discrimination, poverty and a loss of a culture due to other influences.  Saturday morning was spent visiting one of the children's villages.  We took some amazing photos and here are some of the photos taken of them that day.
